Champagne Leclerc Briant Blanc de Meuniers 2015 is an exceptional expression of the Pinot Meunier grape variety. This wine reflects Leclerc Briant's commitment to organic and biodynamic production, achieving an authentic expression of terroir. Blanc de Meuniers 2015 features a golden-green hue with fine, persistent bubbles.
On the nose, it reveals mineral and iodine notes, accompanied by aromas of green apple, fresh grapes, lemongrass, peppermint, and quince. Over time, nuances of orange blossom, honeysuckle, mild spices, and toasted notes emerge. On the palate, the wine is fresh and pure, with a creamy and well-balanced mousse.
Its medium body showcases minerality and fruitiness, leading to a long and delicate finish. This champagne is perfectly suited as an aperitif but also pairs excellently with noble fish and seafood. Additionally, it is recommended with veal carpaccio or cheeses such as Comté, Mimolette, or smoked Esrom.
