Glowing with energy, the 2015 Le Léon showcases pure lemon zest, white peach and wildflower honey, carried over a vibrant mineral frame. Made from vineyards near Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, with some Clos des Goisses fruit, it delivers a rich but lifted palate framed by silky mousse and notes of starfruit, orange blossom and crushed stone. Full-bodied yet fresh, with a saline, chalky tension running underneath the fruit, this Champagne finishes long and elegant. Disgorged January 2023, it captures the ripeness of 2015 with superb balance.

Critic reviews

Jeb Dunnock, 91/100

The 2015 Champagne Grand Blanc Extra Brut is mainly from Vertus, but also Trapail and Verzenay, with some downgraded fruit from Clos des Goisses. The wine pours a bright yellow hue and offers lifted aromas of lemon sorbet, orange blossoms, and star fruit. Medium-bodied with a lively mousse, it takes on a silky mineral texture with fresh fruit, and though it may not be the longest on the palate, it offers a lot of classic charm and retains good freshness for the vintage. This is the last edition that will be bottled in clear glass. Drink 2024-2034. Disgorged January 2023. 4.5 grams per liter dosage. 11/23
