Leclerc Briant Description
Blanc de Meuniers Brut Zéro is produced from 100% Pinot Meunier from the Premier Cru village of Chamery (near Reims). Fermentation and aging for 10 months in used French oak barriques is followed by 24-36 months aging in bottle sur lattes. The wine received zero dosage and is bone dry with just 1.3 grams per liter of residual sugar. 2,800 bottles produced.
An open-knit nose of wild plum, almond and orange with underlying notes of salted bread. On the palate, the wine shows considerable body and a complex array of flavors including lemongrass, peppermint and quince. As the wine breathes scents of orange blossom and honeysuckle come to the fore and mingle with the soft, spicy accents of cumin and nutmeg.
Food Pairing
Gastronomic Champagne is the goal of Leclerc Briant and all of their wines are intended to accompany fine cuisine. Blanc de Meuniers is a robust champagne that can be paired with weightier dishes such as seared scallops with mushrooms, lemongrass chicken with jasmine rice or Mussels steamed in a saffron broth.
