Leclerc Briant Description
Extra Brut Réserve is produced from 40% Pinot Noir; 40% Pinot Meunier; 20% Chardonnay. Malolactic fermentation is allowed to happen naturally and sulfite levels are kept between 20 and 30 milligrams per liter. The wine spends 9 to 11 months in stainless steel tanks with 20% in oak barrels and more than 2 years on the lees in the bottle (sur lattes). Dosage is kept below 4 grams per liter and the wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered.
Fresh and lifted with breezy and savory aromas of seashell and fresh pear. Floral and fruity on the palate, with medium body and a juicy feel, it has a clean, chalky texture and a mouthwatering, light almond finish with a hint of umami.
