Vineyard

The plots are located in Troissy, in the Vallée de la Marne, where Pinot Meunier dominates. They are farmed according to organic and biodynamic principles, with a focus on living soils and terroir expression. In 2023, the estate was officially certified, although it had already been farming this way previously. The small, fragmented plots provide a great deal of nuance in the blend. The 2021 vintage was challenging with low yields, which benefits the concentration.

Alexis Leconte

Frankrijk · Champagne

Al vijf generaties lang bouwt de familie Leconte aan haar champagnehuis in Troissy, in de Vallée de la Marne. Aimé Leconte legde de fundamenten met respect voor de wijngaard, terwijl zijn zoon Xavier het domein moderniseerde met nieuwe productiemiddelen en doorgedreven bodemstudies. Sinds 2015 bepaalt Alexis Leconte de koers. Na ervaring in Bourgogne en de Elzas keerde hij terug naar het familiedomein met een duidelijke ambitie: Champagnes creëren die de identiteit van elk perceel zo zuiver mogelijk weerspiegelen.
