Very unusual wine, but it grew on me. This wine almost tastes like a lambic, with an oxidative flavor followed by a sour finish. It went well with Lavraki. — 7 months ago

This is their entry-level wine, 100% Palomino from the La Platera vineyard in the Pago Miraflores. Vines are about 25 years old and rooted in albariza lustrillos soils. Fermented and aged in stainless steel (no oak barrels, no flor). Intense, mineral nose with flinty notes. Dry, fresh, saline, elegant. — a year ago

Sunday bubble with the missus. Zero dosage, harvested 2012, 80% Pinot Noir, 20% Chardonnay. Golden yellow in the glass, shy smell upon opening with saline component. After 10 minutes the nose opened up with chamomile. Palate consistent with the nose, fine bubbles, with brioche, nutty, saline, oxidative chalk flavors. Beautiful stuff!

A medium lemon color with energetic effervescence. Tiny, fast paced bubbles. Honey and yeast aromas immediately upon opening but it gets so much better from there. Big citrus notes of lemon zest and melon. Chalk, flowers, and moist earth.

What a weird, singular, and gorgeous champagne. Straight out of Trépail with a wine a blanc de blancs that displays purity, focus, and the terroir. Zero dosage and remarkable acidity. An intense champagne on day one but becomes more approachable the next day.

The palate is emotional and deep with a plethora of fruits. Hazelnuts, brioche, and caramel. Green apples and peaches for days. A dazzlingly array of notes here over two days. Ethereal and wonderful. — 10 months ago

LV10. Pop and pour. Stunner, but better on day 1 than on day 2. On the nose: soft florals, vanilla, lemon, lime. On the palate: soft mousse, lovely acidity, grapefruit pith, wet stone and a solid finish. Clashed a bit with some of the heat in some plates last night, but fantastic on its own. Seems to be peaking. — 2 years ago

2017 I believe. I don’t get a look. Maybe 18. But anyways this was a smoke show. So elegant and pure with a weightlessness that is Leclapart’s signature. So elegant and refined. Just amazing. — 10 months ago
