Lieu-dit Le Clos de Poilloux Extra-Brut Xavier Leconte
Information
About the producer

Xavier Leconte was founded in 1870. Alexis Leconte has managed the domain since 2003, representing the sixth generation of the family. The vineyard is made up of forty or so small parcels in the villages of Troissy, Dormans, Mareuil-le-Port, Vandières and Aÿ. The vineyard has been certified of high environmental value since 2014. The winemaker finds inspiration in biodynamic viticulture, for instance following the lunar calendar. The champagnes are vinified in oak barrels (25%) and stainless-steel vats (75%).

About the wine

This Champagne, from the lieu-dit Le Clos de Poiloux, is made from Pinot noir grown on a parcel that spans 7,800 square metres. Produced in limited quantities, this cuvée is vinified in oak casks before ageing for at least 7 years. The estate opts for an extra-brut dosage of 3.5g per litre.
In the glass we find a lovely, golden champagne with an almost amber hint to it. It gives off lightly oaky and buttery notes with indulgent aromas of vanilla and caramel. This is balanced by fruity aromas of citrus and quince. Unsurprisingly, this cuvée is rich and unctuous on the palate. Ample and complex, it persists on a vanilla note and is carried by a mineral underscore.
This characterful wine should have a place of choice at your table. It can be paired with a dish like chicken tagine with candied lemon or delicate fish with mushrooms.
