Leclerc Briant Champagne Extra Brut Millesime 2013 |
This wine shows surprising richness for an Extra Brut thanks to 80-100 months aging on its lees before disgorgement and the ripe character that comes with a declared vintage. 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. This Champagne is superb 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.
