Champagne LECLERC BRIANT - Cuvée Divine - Solera
The Leclerc Briant Champagne House is located in Epernay , in Champagne . It was created in Cumières in 1872 by Lucien Leclerc. Under the action of Bertrand Leclerc, great-grandson of the founder, and his wife Jacqueline Briant, the Domaine became a Maison de Négoce. In 1990, Pascal Leclerc succeeded his parents and continued their work. In 2012, the acquisition of Leclerc Briant by Mark Nunelly and Denise Dupré saved the Maison from oblivion. This American couple joins Frédéric Zeimett , originally from Champagne, who now manages the House. The House has 14 hectares of vines, mostly located in Grand Cru (Mailly, Le Mesnil) and Premier Cru (Hautvilliers, Cumières, Mareuil sur Aÿ, Bisseuil, Rilly La Montagne, Villers-Allerand, Trépail). The Domaine also includes a tiny parcel of vines called La Croisette. Maison Leclerc Briant was one of the pioneers of biodynamics in Champagne. From the end of the 1950s, Bertrand Leclerc was the first to set up organic farming practices, with the certifications undertaken by his son Pascal. Today, the entire vineyard is certified in biodynamic agriculture and all the cuvées are labeled vegan .
