Product Description
Leclerc Briant Les Carelles is a single-parcel 100% Chardonnay from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger Grand Cru — fermented in oak and clay egg, aged 9+ months on lees with just 1.7g/L dosage for an uncompromising expression of Côte des Blancs terroir.
- Nose: Essential oils of lemon, lime, and grapefruit zest — white pear, jasmine, and apple blossom with a deep, resinous chalky mineral lift
- Palate: Pure, dense, and almost opulent — apricot, honeyed pear, and flaky patisserie with rock salt tension and extraordinary geological chalk definition
- Finish: Reminiscent of pure Le Mesnil-sur-Oger Grand Cru chalk — long, saline, and electric, with lingering citrus oil and tensile mineral precision
