Clos Le Léon 2014 is the new Blanc de Blancs cuvée from Maison Marc Hébrart, the flagship of the Domaine.
This cuvée is made with Chardonnays from Clos Le Léon, planted in 2008 at a density of 8300 vines per hectare. This secluded vineyard is located in Dizy, on the historic Champagne hillsides.
The year 2014 was marked by a magnificent, dry spring, a cool, rainy autumn summer and a hot, sunny and very dry September, worthy of an August.
Vinification took place in small 228 L oak barrels, and malolactic fermentation was blocked. Aging took place on fine lees for 7 months, and on laths for 72 months.
This champagne is dosed Extra Brut, at around 3.5 g/L, in order to preserve the character of the terroir and the authenticity of the vintage.
" Because of its location in the terroir, its exposure, the early ripening, the outcropping chalk, the quality of the grapes and the wines produced from this parcel, I consider Clos Le Léon to be the future emblematic cuvée of the HEBRART estate" Jean-Paul Hébrart.
