Producer's Notes:

This wine shows unexpected richness for an Extra Brut thanks to 80-100 months aging on its lees before disgorgement and the ripe character that comes with an opulent vintage like 2009. An expansive nose of lemon curd, white flowers and bread notes leads to a palate that shows a mouth coating richness and a lingering saltiness on the finish.

Gastronomic Champagne is the goal of Leclerc Briant and all of their wines are intended to accompany fine cuisine. Vintage 2009 can be paired with full-flavored dishes of considerable weight such as lobster or crayfish served with toasted brioche or sautéed turbot with puréed root vegetables. A classic rabbit with a mustard sauce or roasted chicken would both match the weight of this texturally rich Champagne.

40% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir, 20% Pinot Meunier
