Leclerc Briant Extra Brut Champagne Blanc de Blancs 2018

95 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "A fantastic Blanc de Blancs from the LeClerc Briant team, the 2018 Champagne Blanc De Blancs Extra Brut comes from the Vallée de la Marne and the Montagne de Reims and sees a small dosage of 1.9 grams per liter. Pouring a vibrant straw color with a tinge of green, it’s expressive on the nose, with delicate toasty and pure aromas of candied green apple, key lime, and fresh flowers. Medium-bodied, with good intensity of fruit, it opens on the palate with a rounded mousse, followed by pure, building fruit on the finish. Exceptional, long, and refreshing, this will be a wine that can carry over the coming 15 years. A very impressive effort. Disgorged in June 2023. Drink: 2023-2038. (11/17/23)"

92 points Yohan Castaing (Wine Advocate): "Disgorged in June 2023 with a dosage of 1.9 grams per liter, the Leclerc Briant’s 2018 Blanc de Blancs possesses a delicate, bright bouquet with aromas of pear, spring flowers and lemon oil. Moderately weighted with a tense, fresh entry, it’s seamless, with a fine-boned texture enhanced by bubbles of striking finesse and delicacy. It will drink at its peak in five to 10 years. Drink: 2023-2030. (Nov 2023)"

92 points La Revue du Vin de France: "The 2018 Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs possesses the patina of the vintage, but also retains the precision and straightforwardness characteristic of the house. This duality suits it very well. (2025)"
