NV David Leclapart Cuvee l'Artiste

Léclapart’s NV Blanc de Blancs L'Artiste (2020), crafted from two southeast-facing old-vine plots planted in 1985 and 1974, was vinified in equal parts in enameled tanks and oak barrels. Exhibiting aromas of dried white flowers, lemon zest and warm brioche mingling with smoke, it's medium- to full-bodied and concentrated yet taut, with a more generous core of fruit than L'Amateur. While L'Amateur displays a vertical profile, L'Artiste is more expansive and horizontal. It was disgorged in April 2024.
