Leclerc Briant, Extra Brut 150ième Anniversaire NV

Leclerc Briant Extra Brut 150ième Anniversaire NV is a commemorative Champagne created to mark the house’s 150th anniversary. With its Extra Brut style, it offers a refined, dry expression that combines the elegance of traditional Champagne with the distinctive identity of one of the region’s pioneering independent producers.

Tasting Notes
The wine is expected to show a bright, pale-golden colour with a fine, persistent mousse. Aromas typically associated with a mature Extra Brut Champagne include citrus, white flowers, orchard fruit and subtle notes of brioche or toasted almond. On the palate, its dry profile should emphasise freshness, precise acidity and mineral length, with layers of lemon, green apple and delicate pastry notes. As a non-vintage cuvée, it is designed to offer balance and consistency rather than reflect a single harvest; proper cellaring may allow further development of toast, honey and nutty complexity.

Production
Specific details regarding the grape blend, base vintages, dosage and maturation of this commemorative cuvée are not provided. It is produced in Champagne according to the traditional method, with a secondary fermentation in bottle followed by lees ageing, giving the wine its characteristic fine bubbles and complex texture. The Extra Brut designation indicates a particularly dry style with very little added sugar.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled at approximately 8–10°C in a tulip-shaped Champagne glass. It is an excellent aperitif and pairs beautifully with oysters, shellfish, sushi, smoked salmon and delicate seafood dishes. Its dry, refreshing character also complements roast poultry, soft cheeses and lightly seasoned vegetable dishes. Decanting is not normally necessary, although allowing the bottle a few minutes in the glass can help reveal additional aromatic depth.

Producer
Leclerc Briant is an established Champagne house with roots dating back to 1872. Based in Épernay, the producer is recognised for its independent character and long-standing commitment to expressive, terroir-driven Champagne, including early adoption of biodynamic principles. This 150th-anniversary cuvée celebrates the house’s history while presenting its wines in a precise, modern Extra Brut style.
