Product details
The Marc Hébrart Champagne 1er Cru Clos Le Léon 2014 is a remarkable expression of terroir and tradition, crafted from the historic Clos Le Léon vineyard in the Premier Cru village of Dizy. Once divided into three plots through inheritance, this clos has been lovingly reunited by Jean-Paul Hébrart, who fulfilled his dream of crafting a single-vineyard wine. Replanted in 2008 and vinified without malolactic fermentation, this 100% Chardonnay Champagne is aged in oak barrels for seven months on fine lees and matured for 72 months in the bottle. The result is an Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs that balances elegance and complexity, offering a taste of Champagne's storied heritage.
Praised by Wine Spectator with 94 points, this lush Champagne reveals a creamy texture complemented by racy acidity. The palate unfolds with layers of baked nectarine, candied lemon peel, ginger, pastry cream, and toasted hazelnut, leading to a zesty, lingering finish. With a radiant sense of richness and restraint, this 2014 vintage captures the essence of craftsmanship and passion. Perfect for savoring now or cellaring until 2029, it is a true celebration of Jean-Paul Hébrart’s dedication to excellence.
