Review Wine Spectator - 92 “Brambly berry and black cherry fruit flavors are set in this firm, minerally Champagne, which offers a fine mousse and notes of lemon peel, star anise and toast lingering on the clean-cut finish. Bright and appealing. Disgorged December 2016. Drink now through 2021. ” -- 11/15/2017.
Wine maker notes Blanc de Meuniers Brut Zero 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.
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.
Producer Leclerc Briant is a trailblazing Champagne house producing wines of singular energy and nerve. Lucien Leclerc founded the winery with four hectares of vineyards in Cumieres in 1872. The business moved to Épernay in 1955 when Bertrand Leclerc married Jacqueline Briant and formed the negociant firm which still carries their name. Leclerc Briant was an early adopter of organic practices beginning in the 1960’s and was one of the first to bottle single-vineyard Champagnes starting in the 1970’s. In the late 1980’s, Bertrand and Jacqueline’s son, Pascal, began integrating biodynamic principles and part of the production has been Demeter certified since 2003. Today, enologist Herve Jestin continues the legacy of this visionary house.
