Leclerc Briant Brut Zéro Grand Blanc 2015

Leclerc Briant Brut Zéro Grand Blanc 2015 is a precise, terroir-driven Champagne made from Grand Cru fruit in Chouilly and Cramant. With no dosage, it offers an uncompromising expression of the chalk-rich Côte des Blancs, balancing creamy texture with remarkable freshness and mineral definition. Disgorged in January 2023, the wine reflects both the ripe character of the 2015 vintage and Leclerc Briant’s minimalist approach.

Tasting Notes
Bright and refined in the glass, the Champagne carries a lively mousse and an invitingly chalky, mineral profile. The nose opens with powdery creaminess, reminiscent of fine chalk dust, complemented by subtle peppery notes. On the palate, the 2015 vintage shows generous yet well-held freshness, supported by impressive structure and depth. Its zero-dosage style keeps the finish focused and dry, with saline nuances recalling white miso and a lingering impression of chalk. Already expressive, it should continue to develop complexity over the next several years when properly cellared.

Production
The grapes were harvested in the Grand Cru villages of Chouilly and Cramant, whose chalk soils are renowned for producing Chardonnay with both tension and mineral depth. The base wines were fermented and aged for nine months in oak, adding discreet texture and breadth while preserving the wine’s freshness. The Champagne was disgorged in January 2023 without dosage and without the addition of sulfur dioxide, allowing the vineyard character and vintage expression to remain at the forefront.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled at approximately 8–10°C in a white-wine or tulip-shaped Champagne glass to reveal its layered aromas and texture. Its dry, mineral style is an excellent match for oysters, shellfish, sashimi, grilled fish and delicate poultry dishes; the saline finish also pairs beautifully with dishes featuring white miso or other subtle umami notes. Decanting is not essential, although a brief opening before serving can help the wine unfold in the glass.
