Created in Cumières in 1872 by Lucien Leclerc, Domaine moved to Epernay in 1955 to its current premises on Chemin de la Chaude Ruelle. At the same time, under the leadership of Bertrand Leclerc, great-grandson of the founder, and his wife Jacqueline Briant, Domaine became Maison de Négoce, and took the name Leclerc Briant. In 1980, Pascal Leclerc succeeded his parents and continued their work.
In 2012, the purchase of Leclerc Briant by Mark Nunnelly and Denise Dupré rescued the Maison from oblivion. This American couple, passionate about French art de vivre, fell in love with this non-conformist Maison. They joined forces with Frédéric Zeimett, a native of Champagne, who has since steered the House ever upwards of the Champagne codes, in the service of expressing a unique style now internationally recognized.
Cuvée Abyss is one of Champagne's most original cuvées. Immersed for almost a year in the seabed to the east of the Île d'Ouessant, Cuvée Abyss plunges us into a universe where the terrestrial meets the aerial and the marine.
It was after the discovery of a cargo of Champagne that had aged for more than 170 years in the Baltic Sea that Maison Leclerc Briant decided to immerse a specially developed cuvée.in partnership with Amphoris, a company specializing in underwater operations, the house and its cellar master Hervé Jestin have created a bespoke cuvée.
On the nose, the Abyss cuvée, reveals a harmony Rare between a concentrated, solar fruity substance, and a spicy-tinged freshness. It expresses notes reminiscent of warm apple, quince and iodine.
On the palate, the fruity notes accompanied by citrus are enhanced by a minerality and salinity that give it depth.
This unique cuvée will pair simply with a seafood platter or salmon gravlax.
