100% Chardonnay Dosage: 0g/l L’Amateur is the house's entry-level cuvée, a blend of six different parcels in Trépail. This single-origin Chardonnay is vinified in enamelled 33 hl steel tanks - Léclapart does not use stainless steel tanks because he is convinced that this generates negative energy. Like all of the house's wines, L'Amateur goes through malolactic fermentation, there is no fining or filtration whatsoever. The result is a powerful Chardonnay, pure and without make-up with a mineral bite. Léclapart's champagnes are different, headstrong and fascinating. The "L'Amateur" is particularly recommended for getting to know the style, as it already gives an idea of what is still to be discovered. Be sure to carafe or ventilate for a long enough time! Peter Liem: The entry-level cuvée is called L’Amateur, blended from five different parcels in Trépail and vinified entirely in enameled 33 HL. steel tanks—Léclapart has no stainless steel anywhere in his cellar, as he believes that it promotes negative energy.  

100% Chardonnay Dosage: 0g/l Peter Liem: In 2004, Gautherot began bottling a pure chardonnay called Blanc d’Argile, from the Biaunes vineyard. The vines here are young, having been planted in 2000, and unlike Vouette, which faces south, Biaunes has a western exposure, meaning that the grapes take a long time to ripen. Yields tend to be very low (a mere 15 hl/ha in 2004, resulting in only 1,100 bottles being produced), as Gautherot prunes the chardonnay here to only five bunches per vine, and this is well-reflected in the ample, mouth-filling character of this wine.

100% Pinot Noir  Dosage: 0g/l Vinified in oak  At least 3 years of bottle maturity  

100% ChardonnayDosage: 0g/lThe terroir plays a special role here: deep-rooted Chardonnay vines from various 1er Cru plots give Léclapart the opportunity to let not only the purist of his cellar work, but also the original of the vineyard speak from his Champagne - soil and rock. Vinification takes place in equal parts in used barriques and in enamel tanks. Equipped with Zero Dosage, this Chardonnay masterfully conveys the style of the House of Léclapart.The fact that Léclapart was only able to harvest very small quantities over several vintages due to weather conditions underscores just how great the challenges are in Champagne for winemakers working organically and biodynamically. Therefore, we had to wait until 2024 for the next vintage of L'Artiste! L'Artiste is made from Chardonnay from vines 30 to 50 years old. The specific plot from which this wine comes varies from year to year. Léclapart calls this cuvée "a discovery of terroir": he is not looking for a specific expression here, but wants to learn more about the terroir of Trépail. Peter Liem: L’Artiste, is generally made from chardonnay vines between 30 and 50 years old, but the particular parcels vary from year to year. Léclapart calls this cuvée “a discovery of terroir”: “I’m not looking for anything in particular,” he says. “I’m just trying to learn about the terroir of Trépail.” Half of the wine for L’Artiste is vinified in old barriques, while the other half is made in enameled steel.
