Its aroma reveals layers of citrus, orchard fruit and white flowers, complemented by notes of freshly baked bread, almond and subtle mineral tones developed through bottle ageing.\n\nOn the palate, it is dry, lively and well-structured, balancing ripe fruit with refreshing acidity. Flavours of lemon, green apple and pear mingle with brioche, toasted nuts and a characteristic chalky minerality. The finish is long and focused, and the wine should continue to develop gracefully for several years when stored in a cool, dark cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 2015 vintage reflects Champagne’s chalk-influenced soils and cool-climate conditions, while the warm growing season brought additional ripeness and concentration. Leclerc Briant is known for a careful, terroir-focused approach and biodynamic vineyard practices, with grapes harvested by hand and vinified to preserve freshness and site expression. As a vintage Extra Brut Champagne, the wine is made exclusively from the 2015 harvest and finished with limited dosage to retain its natural precision and energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe well chilled at approximately 8–10°C in a tulip-shaped Champagne glass.
