🏰 Alexis Leconte's 'Totem Brut' is a non-vintage Champagne that serves as a vibrant introduction to the estate's characterful wines. It's a blend predominantly of 70% Pinot Meunier, 20% Pinot Noir, and 10% Chardonnay, reflecting the diverse soils of Troissy and Dormand in the Vallée de la Marne. The winery, led by sixth-generation winemaker Alexis Leconte, emphasizes craftsmanship, sustainability, and respect for terroir, with biodynamic farming practices implemented since 2016 and Demeter certification achieved in 2023. The wine is fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in stainless steel vats and oak casks for at least three years, with 30% coming from a perpetual reserve, contributing to its complexity and depth. 【 Biodynamic, Meunier-driven Champagne from a 6th generation grower 】. In the glass, it presents a brilliant golden yellow with lively, delicate bubbles. The nose is expressive and spicy, offering aromas of white pepper, lovage, and fresh citrus fruits like lemon peel, alongside notes of sun-ripened peach, apricot, and blackberry. On the palate, it's lively, fresh, and dynamic, with crisp citrus notes, chalky minerality, and a fine, sparkling perlage. It's described as harmonious, juicy, and elegant, with a rich mouthfeel balanced by great acidity and a long, flavorful finish. 🍴 This versatile Champagne is an excellent all-rounder. It pairs beautifully as an aperitif, with fresh seafood, oysters and shellfish, or a light salad with herb dressing. It also complements rich fish like salmon and tuna, mild and soft cheeses, and even light poultry dishes. 🥂 The 'Totem Brut' is perfect for spontaneous moments of joy and sharing, whether at an informal gathering, a celebratory toast, or simply enjoying a relaxed evening. Its approachable yet profound character makes it suitable for a wide range of social occasions, bringing energy and fun to every glass.
