2013 Champagne Leclerc Briant Château d’Avize

The 2013 Champagne Leclerc Briant Château d’Avize is a finely crafted Blanc de Blancs from one of Champagne’s most distinctive estates, showing the precision and elegance that have made Leclerc Briant a name to watch. Sourced from the prestigious Côte des Blancs village of Avize, it offers chalk-driven finesse and a serious, age-worthy style.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a bright golden hue with a refined, persistent mousse. The nose leans toward citrus zest, white flowers, green apple, and subtle brioche, with the Avize terroir lending a distinct chalky mineral edge. On the palate, it is precise and linear, with tension, freshness, and layers of lemon, pear, stone fruit, and toasted nuances from time on lees. The finish is long and saline, with excellent balance and the structure to continue developing beautifully over time.

Production
Produced from Chardonnay in Avize, one of the most celebrated grand cru villages in the Côte des Blancs, this wine benefits from pure chalk soils that naturally emphasize freshness, minerality, and elegance. The 2013 vintage in Champagne was marked by a late harvest and gave wines with notable acidity and strong aging potential; Leclerc Briant is known for careful vineyard work and thoughtful vinification that preserves site expression.

Food & Serving
This Champagne is an excellent match for oysters, langoustines, sushi, shellfish, and delicate poultry dishes, as well as aged hard cheeses. Serve well chilled, ideally around 8–10°C, and consider brief decanting only if the wine seems especially closed on opening.

Producer
Leclerc Briant is a historic Champagne house with roots dating back to the 19th century and a reputation for expressive, terroir-driven wines. Based in Épernay, the estate has become especially recognized for its biodynamic and progressive approach, helping it stand out among modern Champagne producers and earn strong acclaim for both quality and individuality.
