This Le Clos des Trois Clochers is exceptional. The aromatics are sensational and complex which amazing depth that I was always picking up something new every time I went to smell the glass, which I did for about 5 minutes before taking a sip. Truly a wine of elegant power with delicate fruit and a wonderful touch of autolytic elements. The finish just goes on and on. This one is something special. - Ian N.
Producer Description
Le Clos des Trois Clochers is from a single 0.3-hectare plot in the premier cru village of Villers-Allerand on the north side of Montagne de Reims. The west-facing “clos of three steeples” is planted to 100% Chardonnay with an average vine age of 35 years. Spontaneous fermentation and aging take place in used 225-liter French oak barriques for 9 months followed by 36 months aging sur lattes. The wine receives no dosage with just 1.65 grams per liter of residual sugar. 1,600 bottles produced.
Clos des Trois Clochers shows notes of flint, star anise and breadcrumbs with hints of lemon and fresh hazelnuts. After a moment in the glass, the wine displays notes of licorice, peach, and grapefruit come through with lemon zest, cashew nuts, blackcurrant buds and the scent of acacia and roses.
Gastronomic Champagne is the goal of Leclerc Briant and all their wines are intended to accompany fine cuisine. Seafood with a saline character such as grilled prawns or langoustines drizzled with oil and sea salt or broiled sardines with lemon and parsley work well with this wine.
