Grand Cru Chardonnay Mastery from the Heart of Avize
A sixth-generation family estate in the heart of Avize, crafting exceptional Blanc de Blancs from the Côte des Blancs' most prestigious Grand Cru terroirs, Leclaire-Thiefaine was founded in 1878 and revitalized by winemaker Constantin Leclaire-Thiefaine in 2020. This grower Champagne house blends a rich heritage with a modern, precise vision. With 4 hectares of vines planted exclusively to Chardonnay, the estate focuses on parcel-by-parcel vinification to express the pure, chalky minerality of its origins in Avize, Cramant, and Oger.
Committed to biodiversity and sustainable viticulture, Constantin emphasizes minimal intervention, natural ferments, and extended bottle aging—a minimum of four years for each cuvée. The result is a range of six numbered, limited-production wines renowned for their purity, finesse, and elegant freshness.
