The house was initially established in the village of Cumières, just northwest of Épernay in 1872 by Lucien Leclerc. The business moved into Épernay in 1955, at around the same time company moved from straighforward Champagne producer to that of a négoce (buying-in grapes and wines for production). The name change to Leclerc Briant also dates back to this time with then-proprietor Bertrand Leclerc (the third generation at the helm since 1872) marrying Jacqueline Briant. The house was acquired in 2012 by private-equity billionaire (and former Domino's pizza CEO) Mark Nunnelly and his wife Denise Dupré, a former Harvard Adjunct Faculty Member and board member of Boston University. Leclerc Briant is run by CEO Frédéric Zeimett. As well as working with a range of growers across the region, the estate also boasts a tiny plot of vines in central Épernay, dubbed \"La Croisette\". Grapes from this vineyard are made into a single vineyard label. In all, the house produces three main ranges: the \"Classiques\" (Réserve Brut, Rosé Extra Brut, Millésime Extra Brut, Rosé de Saignée Extra Brut and Blanc de Blancs); the Single Vineyard range (which can vary but often includes Premier and Grand Cru fruit as well as the La Croisette label); and the \"Spécialités (a range of cuvées and special-release wines).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","published_at":"2024-03-15T16:04:30-04:00","created_at":"2024-03-13T11:18:38-04:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","Other_Wine","Producer_Leclerc-Briant","Region_Champagne","RK110324","Source_VendorEmail0324","Type_Sparkling Wine","Varietal_Chardonnay"],"price":68295,"price_min":68295,"price_max":68295,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":44480946667658,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2012 | Leclerc-Briant | Chateau d'Avize Blanc de Blancs Brut Zero","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":68295,"weight":5443,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/54_063f8476-4690-414b-abb0-2d345aedf27f.png?v=1710343223"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/54_063f8476-4690-414b-abb0-2d345aedf27f.png?v=1710343223","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2012 | Leclerc-Briant | Chateau d'Avize Blanc de Blancs Brut Zero at CaskCartel.com","id":26464977780874,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.324,"height":398,"width":129,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/54_063f8476-4690-414b-abb0-2d345aedf27f.png?v=1710343223"},"aspect_ratio":0.324,"height":398,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/54_063f8476-4690-414b-abb0-2d345aedf27f.png?v=1710343223","width":129}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eSparkling Wine: 2012 | Leclerc-Briant | Chateau d'Avize Blanc de Blancs Brut Zero\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmells fresh with lemon and soft floral scents.
