The Leclerc is a "sleeper" it is my first time trying this Champagne and I see a place for this in my collection. The flavor profile genuinely makes it a stand out among the rest. On the nose it reminds me of pear spice cake, candied ginger then on the backend there is a hint of guava. I noticed that it also drinks like a wine in the way of its small bubbles, it just floats on the tongue. A touch of salinity lingers but the finish is firm in its med plus acidity. I would say this is a cheese Champagne, its super complex in my opinion, the range could be from a Brillat-Savarin to a Mimolette, just keep herbs and rubs out of the picture.
