This cuvée is made from grapes grown on the estate's oldest plots, selected with the greatest care to bring out the unique nuances of the terroir (Le Grand Cru de Cramant) of the Côte des Blancs.
Aromas of fresh fruit and a creamy-mineral persistence are supported by toasted notes. Gripping on the palate with a fresh minerality.
Nicola FEB24: Minimal sherry note, matured, with a finish of salted caramel.
Moritz FEB24: Despite the beautiful maturity (slight oxidative notes), the Cuvée Constantin appears quite austere. Wet stones, citric, but also aromas like white almond and salted caramel are found. On the palate, the aromas from the nose appear somewhat more tart under the present acidity. The long finish leaves a nicely chalky/mineral aftertaste, which gives the champagne even more grip and length.
Nicola JUN22: Perhaps the most chalky, mineral from the range, but again that lovely ripened fruit note. Exciting mildly spicy complex tone. On the 3rd day: racy, spicy notes, strong character with enormous drinking flow.
Moritz OCT22: The rich style of Leclaire-Thiefaine is conveyed most strongly in Cuvée 03 Constantin. The slightly oxidative nose shows a wonderfully profound spice and orange fruit. On the palate, an interplay of aromas of orange citrus fruits, spice and light notes of brioche is carried by the incredibly elegant perlage. A champagne that hugs you and won't let go.
