Introduction
Tasting with the importer just to see how the stuff gets with some bottle age. My three NV bottles were bought before Leclerc Briant had switched to this importer so both W and F were curious.

N.V. Leclerc Briant Champagne Premier Cru Brut Les Crayères
92 points
Had aged beautifully. This was the older version with 90% PN and 10% PM. Unusually light in colour for an aged BdN.

N.V. Leclerc Briant Champagne Premier Cru Brut Les Chèvres Pierreuses
94 points
This one was really good and showed how nice it gets with 5+ years of bottle age

N.V. Leclerc Briant Champagne Brut Clos des Champions
85 points
There was something with the smell of the wine. This was unfortunately the weakest of the trio. Extra sad as it is no longer produced.

This is as good as it gets in this price range. Very nutty and....simply delicious.
