NV Leclerc Briant "Reserve" Champagne Brut (375ml Bottle)

92 Points from Wine Spectator: "A lithe and graceful Champagne, with sleek acidity animating flavors of chopped raspberry, nectarine, preserved lemon and oyster shell. Fine and satiny in texture, offering a persistent, lightly spiced finish. Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay." (12/15/24)

90 Points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "A blend of 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Pinot Meunier and 20% Chardonnay, the NV Réserve Brut from Champagne Leclerc Briant is showing well today, evoking a lively, fresh bouquet of pear, verbena, lime tree, herbs and menthol. Moderately weighted and tense, it's vinous and energetic with an incisive mid-palate and a mouthwatering, fresh finish." (10/24/24)

90 Points Vinous: "The NV (2018) Brut Réserve is exclusively based on the 2018 vintage, no reserve wines were added. Made from 40% each of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier and 20% of Chardonnay, it opens with a creamy nose suggesting ripe Pinot richness and generosity. The palate also displays the maturity and mildness of 2018 with an apple-like freshness pervading the fine mousse that accentuates saltiness on the finish." (11/2023)

90 Points from Wine Enthusiast Magazine: "Blending the three Champagne grapes, this wine is well textured. It is warm, the tang of minerality softened by ripe white-fruit flavors. It is ready to drink." (9/1/23)
