Gault&Millau's review 2026

The nose charms with notes of citrus, orange blossom and black pepper. On the palate, a fresh, salivating attack immediately delights with a velvety, personal texture. The creamy texture retains a beautiful tension. A chalky, saline touch balances the whole. The long, delicate hazelnut and citrus finish leaves the palate eager for the next sip. A wine with great potential.

Leclaire-Thiefaine

Leclaire was founded in 1878. In 1991, Reynald Leclaire, from the fifth generation, married Virginie Thiefaine and renamed the house with both their names. Constantin, representing the sixth generation, returned to the domaine in 2020. Based in Avize, he cultivates 4 ha of vines, giving pride of place to Chardonnay, the flagship grape variety of the Côte des Blancs. Each cuvée is aged in the cellar for at least four years, for a total of six numbered cuvées sold in limited quantities.
