Champagne Alexis Leconte
Aria
The Champagne Aria by Alexis Leconte is the result of 100% Chardonnay grapes from vineyards located around the village of Troissy (Vallée de la Marne). The vineyards in this area shine with an astonishing combination of chalk, sand, limestone, marl and clay playing the main role. 2019 vintage base whit vinification takes place in stainless steel vats and 400-litre barrels, following an ageing for about 30 months on its lees with a final dosage of only 2.4 g/l - making it an Extra Brut.
The Champagne Aria is light gold in colour with a lively sparkle. The nose has the essence of a classic Blanc de Blancs, lemon and grapefruit stand out, complemented by accents of lemon curd, bread crust and fine notes of hazelnuts and almonds. On the palate it creates a pleasant tension. The citrus notes during the tasting reappear accompanied by a lively acidity with a dry, citrusy and creamy finish.

Champagne Alexis Leconte
In Troissy-Bouquigny, in the Vallée de la Marne, Champagne Alexis Leconte born in 2015 from the ambitious project of Alexis, sixth generation of Champagne Xavier Leconte. The vineyards of Champagne Alexis Leconte consist of small plots distributed in the villages of Troissy, Dormans, Mareuil-le-Port, Vandières and Aÿ: Meunier is mainly located in Troissy, while Pinot Noir in Aÿ.
Alexis manages the work in the vineyard with meticulous attention by applying the principles of biodynamic agriculture, including the integration of lunar cycles both in the activities in the vineyard and during vinification in the cellar. The goal is to preserve the soil and obtain healthy grapes to produce quality wines that express the terroir that gather all the richness and complexity of each lieu-dit. For this reason Alexis conducts a parcel vinification.
In the cellar, fermentation is done in fût de chêne and / or in particular terracotta amphorae; spontaneous fermentations with indigenous yeasts are favored and it is limited to the minimum intervention in all subsequent phases. The malolactic fermentation is not performed and the added dosages are minimal if not zero.
Complexity, consistency, depth and harmony are the characteristics of the Champagne Alexis Leconte, which promises to be one of the most promising new realities among the region's vignerons.
