James Suckling 94 points - The smoke and currant character of this wine is impressive
well-structured fruit and balanced acidity creates a crisp and delicate finish
Leclerc Briant was an early adopter of organic practices beginning in the 1960’s and pioneered the concept of single-vineyard Champagne beginning in the 1970’s
which continued until the late 1980s
Francois Lumpp Givry Rouge Crausot 2015 Bottle:1 James Suckling 94 points -Slightly more macerated fruit on nose, plum and creme de mure thicker almost flatter. Sweeter, thicker fruit delivery, ripe cherry and plum, still good acid but overlaid by richer fruit weight, again a touch macerated, greater extract carries through on the finish. Forest floor, vanilla, cherries, leather, jammy strawberries, chalk. Long and balanced aftertaste with some coffe notes. Soft tannins. Good enough acids.
