Champagne VALENTIN LEFLAIVE

The Leflaive family, famously present for generations on the most prestigious appellations of the Côte d’Or, is recognized for its exemplary work. Continuing the historical single varietal approach, this Champagne is made from 100% Chardonnay from the Avize Grand Cru in the Côte des Blancs.

The selections are parcel-based, the harvests are manual and the production is made-to-measure. Aged 3.5 years on lees, and recently disgorged, it exhibits a pale gold hue. It is prized for its very delicate flavours and long mineral finish.

This Champagne reveals a complex nose where orange zest and white flowers harmoniously intertwine. Its palate is fresh and nuanced with lemon citrus, tart apples, and chalky notes. Presented for discerning palates, it both characterizes and magnifies the Grand Cru d’Avize terroir. Serve with Sole Meunière, or seared scallops with lemon.

“Apple pie, croissant and lemon curd with some salted caramel. Full-bodied with density, focus and beautiful length. Lots of energy and richness here. Dosage 4g/L. Disgorged in August 2021. Drink or hold.”
94 points, James Suckling, August 2022
