Maison Leclerc Briant

Très bonne visite !! On était tout seul sur notre créneau de réservation et l'activité était très bien faite et instructive. La dégustation revient à faire un choix parmi un certains nombre de cuvées et par catégories, ce qui a été réellement apprécié ! Le guide est très bien, sympathique, dynamique et ses commentaires et descriptions sont très pertinentes. 5/5 sans hésiter.

It was wonderful ! Our host was very knowledgeable, easily understood, cute and even said jokes! Champagnes were also very good and I really enjoyed this moment. The upstairs room was really nice.

We highly recommend the Leclerc Briant tour & tasting. They have some delicious champagnes across a wide variety of palettes and the tastings take place in a lovely room with a great view of the city. The tour itself is extremely interesting and unique from all other champagne tours we have enjoyed. The borderline obsession with understanding the biology of the champagne process and developing new methods to coax different expressions from the grapes makes for a fascinating tour. The unique vessels with which the house is experimenting make for an aesthetically stimulating tour and a pleasant departure from the mostly-redundant tours at the other champagne houses. Even the caves themselves are unique to Leclerc Briant. All around, this tour and tasting were well worth it. Thank you for a lovely visit!

Au cours de notre visite nous avons découvert une maison innovante et attachée à de belles valeurs qui nous ont touchés. Le contact était chaleureux et authentique, et la dégustation, très qualitative. Nous avons passé un excellent moment et fait une belle découverte !

A beautiful domain with a good state of mind: not only do they make you taste champagne, but above all they pass on their passion for its production and tasting ! We highly recommend it if you want to learn more about tha art of tasting champagne while having a good time.

I was the only person on my tour (as it took place on a chilly day in January), and my tour guide made it a very enjoyable and personalised experience. The tour included lots of interesting information on the champagne-making process (including storing champagne bottles on the sea bed!), and was followed by a tasting which was personalised to my taste in champagne. All in all, an excellent tour! Merci beaucoup!

Beau domaine et dégustation est enrichissante : elle est centrée sur le produit fini et les explications sont très précises. On a trouvé les deux champagnes et la prestation haut de gamme.

Une visite personnalisée avec les mots justes et le désir de transmettre la passion du champagne. Une maison qui se réinvente et perdure son exploitation en biodynamique.Une exploration de prestige, restant à taille humaine et ayant conservé ses valeurs de respect de la terre, la vigne et des Hommes qui la travaillent.Des projets riches de innovations à découvrir !Merci de votre accueil

Très bonne visite, très instructive et personnel très sympathique. Nous avons passé un très bon moment.

We have visited a number of champagne houses in Reims and Epernay over the years and thought the Leclerc Briant house, with its history of applying biodynamic principles to the process, might be different; it did not disappoint! We were made very welcome by our tour guide, Mathilde on our arrival. What a great ambassador for Leclerc Briant she is! She checked what languages we spoke (only English in my case :-( ) and spoke to us fluently throughout the tour and tasting. Fortunately the Swiss and Flemish speaking couples who joined us could all speak excellent English (for which, my grateful thanks!) The tour was comprehensive and fascinating. The house experiments with storing its wine in traditional oak barrels as well as clay vessels, gold-lined steel, titanium and glass containers. The different qualities of the resulting wines make up the unique house taste. It is also the only house we have visited that stores some of it wine ('Abbys') in 60 metres of sea off the Brittany coast! After a fascinating tour, the tasting. Unfortunately we were heading to Calais for our ferry home and had to cut this short but I would suggest including both the house rosés in your tastings; the saignée, in particular is a great experience. Finally we have found a champagne that can accompany red meat and cheese perfectly! Mathilde understood perfectly we had to leave and prepared us a mixed case of the rosés very speedily and saw us on our way. The good news for us Brits is that Berry Bros & Rudd are now stocking a range of the wines, including the Abbys. I can't wait to get my hands on a barnacled bottle of that soon! Sincere thanks to all those who produce such excellent champagne and to Mathilde for explaining it to us so well.
