Winery presentation by Gault&Millau
The Leclaire estate was founded in 1878. In 1991, Reynald Leclaire, a fifth-generation member of the family, married Virginie Thiefaine and renamed the estate after both of them. Constantin, representing the sixth generation, returned to the estate in 2020. He cultivates 4 hectares of vineyards, with a focus on Chardonnay, the flagship grape variety of the Côte des Blancs. Each cuvée is aged in the cellar for at least four years, resulting in a total of six numbered cuvées released in limited quantities.
