Champagne Leclerc Briant
Abyss Millésime 2018
The Abyss Project was specially created from the 2013 harvest by Leclerc Briant, in association with Amphoris, for underwater ageing.
The grapes that make up this Cuvée were harvested from select Champagne villages, renowed for their limestone subsoil, particularly adapted for the underwater ageing. The chosen area is located in the Bay of Stiff, at the eastern tip of the "Ile d'Ouessant" off the coast of Brittany, in France. Each grape variety makes up equal parts this exceotional cuvée: Chardonnay from Bisseuil, Pinot Noir from Avernay-Val-d'Or and Meunier from Vrigny. This Vintage Champagne, made exclusively from the 2018 harvest, was bottled in July 2019, disgorged in January 2022 and submerged in July of that same year. The extremely limited quantity of bottles was brought up from the depths of the ocean in July 2023 (after 12 months).
The Champagne Abyss has an intense yellow colour with golden and silver nuances. The perlage is intense and crowns the top. All in all, the champagne is rich and intense, but extremely fresh. It smells of minerals, iodine and chalky, as well as fruity aromas of peach, apple and rhubarb, not to foget the helbal touch of vervain, camomile and jasmine tea. A second smell recalls lime, licorice, citrus, almond and rose. It is fresh and elegant in your mouth with a creamy and delicate perlage. When tasting, pay attention to the roundness and power of the wine, perfectly balanced by its acidity. The exceptional minerality coming from the local terroir embraces the fruity notes in your mouth.
