L'Abyss, Leclerc Briant Champagne

LIMITED AVAILABILITY About the Champagne Leclerc Briant Cuvée Abyss is an extraordinary Champagne with a distinctly maritime character, created through a remarkable process of maturation beneath the Atlantic Ocean. After its initial ageing in Champagne, the bottles are submerged off the coast of Brittany, where the cool, dark and gently moving waters provide a unique environment for further maturation. The result is a Champagne of striking freshness, tension and minerality, with a subtle saline quality that beautifully echoes the chalky and sandy soils of its Champagne origins. Elegant, complex and wonderfully distinctive, Cuvée Abyss offers a rare opportunity to experience how an unconventional approach to maturation can shape one of the world's great wines. About the Champagne House Founded in Épernay in 1872, Leclerc Briant is one of Champagne’s pioneering houses, embracing organic and biodynamic viticulture long before it became fashionable. Today, the house is celebrated for Champagnes with remarkable energy, precision and individuality, produced predominantly from Premier Cru vineyards. Leclerc Briant is also known for its curiosity and willingness to explore unconventional approaches to winemaking. Perhaps its most extraordinary creation is Cuvée Abyss, a Champagne matured beneath the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Brittany. This combination of deep respect for the vineyard, biodynamic principles and a wonderfully adventurous spirit makes Leclerc Briant one of the most distinctive Champagne houses of our time. Serve with creamy cheeses like Delice de Cremiers and La Tur, or firm mountain cheeses like Comte, Gruyere Reserve and Appenzeller. 750ml
