David Leclapart l'Amateur Blanc de Blancs Pas Dose 1er Cru 2022
Champagne // France
Since taking on the family estate in Trepail, east of the Reims mountains, David Léclapart has been committed to returning to the unique Champagne de Vigneron and has become a benchmark in the region. He lets the terroir, climate, grape variety and people to live in unity, without any intervention that could damage the natural balance of the ecosystem.
L'Amateur is a single-variety Champagne made from Chardonnay grapes from 6 plots in a Premier Cru area with chalky soils. The wine is aged in old barrels for 12 months with a second fermentation in bottle for 22 months, before disgorging.
Don’t be fooled by the name. This is not an amateur wine at all. Stunning, fresh and pure.
