ABOUT THIS WINE

"Clos Le Léon" is a rare single-vineyard Blanc de Blancs sourced from a Premier Cru enclosed vineyard in Dizy, planted exclusively to Chardonnay. The 2016 vintage reflects the site's chalk-rich soils and cool-climate precision, producing a Champagne of remarkable finesse and depth. Fermented in a combination of stainless steel and oak with extended aging on the lees, the wine develops impressive complexity while retaining freshness and tension. Presented in a 1.5-liter magnum, the wine benefits from slower maturation, allowing for even greater elegance, complexity, and aging potential.
