Champagne Valentin Leflaive Avize Grand Cru |17|40 is a Blanc de Blancs crafted exclusively from Chardonnay grapes grown in the Grand Cru vineyards of the village of Avize. Each plot is tended individually and vinified separately to bring out the unique characteristics of this terroir. The base of the champagne is composed of the 2017 vintage wine and 30% vin de réserve. Aged on the lees for 60 months, the champagne unfolds through a complex aromatic palette, harmoniously combining notes of orange peel, grapefruit and white flowers. On the palate, an expressive acidity stands out, complemented by accents of citrus fruits and chalk. The finish is long, with mineral notes taking the lead.
Dosage: 4g/l, which classifies this champagne as Extra Brut.
Serve at 6–8 °C with oysters, prawn salad, light appetizers or creamy-textured cheeses.
Dried apple, lemon, pineapple and croissant on the nose. It’s fresh, sleek and creamy with well-integrated bubbles. Lovely pastry character at the end. Disgorged in 2023. Dosage 4g/L. Drink now. Thursday, Jul 18, 2024
The roots of the Champagne Valentin Leflaive adventure lie in the Leflaive family’s history in Puligny-Montrachet, where for centuries a love for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines—and the pursuit of precision in expressing Burgundy’s terroir—has prevailed.
Olivier Leflaive’s hallmark has long been the courage to take risks. Since 2015, a new chapter has been unfolding in Oger, at the heart of the Côte des Blancs: “Champagne de Lieux.” For this fresh and slightly unconventional project, Olivier chose the name Valentin—his son, born in 2007.
In 2020, Valentin Leflaive was officially approved as a Négociant-Manipulant and relocated to Oger. Champagne Valentin Leflaive established itself in an authentic winery with a traditional ageing cellar carved into the chalky soils. Jean Soubeyrand, together with cellar master Élysé Brigandat, leads this ongoing adventure.
This new beginning opens the way for distinctive experiments that reflect both the authenticity of the Champagne region and the Leflaive family’s ambition to craft wines defined by refinement and precision. Each glass from the Champagne Valentin Leflaive range is an invitation to discover Champagne at its best—an exploration of its landscapes and memories, where tasting becomes an unforgettable experience, first and foremost the fruit of a family adventure.
