A Day at Leclerc Briant: Tales from Your Favourite Diva, Augustina

Hello darlings!

It’s your beloved Augustina here, whisking you away on a velvety journey through the enchanting vineyards of Leclerc Briant in Epernay. Even in solitude, a day can be draped in tales of splendour and discovery. Let’s dive into a day filled with sparkling sips and whispered secrets, shall we?


A Solo Soirée with a Sparkling Twist

There I was, cosily nestled amongst sumptuous velvets, while my dear owner embarked on a private tour of the renowned Leclerc Briant. The anticipation of the stories she would bring back tickled my fancy! This esteemed House, my lovelies, has been a pioneer of biodynamics in Champagne since the late 1950s. Imagine the stories those venerable vines could share if only they could speak!


Whispers from the Depths Leclerc Briant’s Cellars

As I waited, my imagination danced through cellars more than a kilometre deep. These silent, shadowy halls, where time itself syncs with the unseen rhythm of the seasons, are truly captivating. Nestled 35 metres below ground, Leclerc Briant’s cellars are serene sanctuaries, perfect for ageing the delicate elixirs that have graced many a palate.


The Return: A Symphony of Stories

Upon her return, the stories my owner shared were simply mesmerising. Each word painted a vivid scene of vast cellars and the cheerful clink of toasting glasses. Leclerc Briant’s commitment to biodynamic virtuosity sets it apart, employing methods that honour and align with nature’s subtle nuances. Their vegan-certified champagnes are curated in an assortment of containers, each adding a unique note to the symphony in each bottle.


The Biodynamic Ballet

Each champagne at Leclerc Briant is a testament to both tradition and innovation, blending in a delicate ballet of flavours. My owner’s eyes sparkled as she described their experimental ageing techniques, such as the use of glass orbs that encapsulate the essence of innovation. This House isn’t just producing champagne, sweethearts; it’s crafting a legacy of respect and uniqueness.


Lessons in Luxe: Sip and Savour

For those captivated by the allure of a fine vintage or the romance of vineyards, Leclerc Briant offers more than a mere drink—it offers an entire experience. When you visit, extend your tastings, inquire about the unique barrels, and immerse yourself in the narrative of each cuvée.

And remember, whether you’re sipping in their chic tasting room or under the gentle sun on Champagne Avenue, it’s about more than just the drink; it’s about the moment and the companionship you cherish.


Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow

As we part, my fabulous friends, I leave you with this: when you find yourself near Epernay, don’t just visit —experience Leclerc Briant fully. Embrace the stories, taste the legacy, and perhaps, you’ll find a tale to share with your cherished companions, be it a beloved handbag or a dear heart.

Until next time, keep your heels, standards, and glasses high. Cheers, my dears!

Stay fabulous!
