Leclerc-Briant has been an organic and biodynamic pioneer in Champagne since long before it was fashionable, farming a certified estate around Epernay. Blanc de Meuniers is exactly what it sounds like, a single-variety Champagne made entirely from Pinot Meunier, the region's underdog grape, here vinified and aged in oak. The 2016 has spent years on the lees and arrives with notes of orchard fruit, citrus zest, and gentle pastry, finished bone-dry in the house's Brut Nature (zero-dosage) style. This is a serious, savory Champagne now drinking in a lovely mature window. Drink over the next few years.

Antonio Galloni

"The 2016 Brut Zéro Blanc de Meuniers from a plot in Chamery with little topsoil, was fermented and aged in oak. This opens with a floral, smoky, plummy lift. This is followed on the palate by a real dollop of lemony, buttery creaminess. Very fine mousse leads into mouth-watering, salty oyster shell depth while juicy and tart yellow apple make this a complete joy." —Antonio Galloni

Champagne

Champagne boasts some of the world’s greatest luxury brands with Krug, Cristal and, of course, Dom Perignon. But it’s also home to hundreds of small dynamic producers—farmers who grow their own grapes (often organically) and make (often with natural methods) tiny amounts of pure and absolutely delicious wine that reflect the individual personalities of their villages and terroirs. Toast with these wines, for sure. But also treat them like the great wines they are: taste, drink, explore!
