Champagne Soutiran Signature Grand Cru Brut and Leclerc Briant Brut Reserve

Have you ever wondered whether terroir really does influence the quality of champagne? This month we answer this burning question as we explore the intricate relationship between terroir and champagne production, unveiling the mysteries behind two exceptional champagnes: Soutiran Signature Grand Cru Brut and Leclerc Briant Brut Reserve. Terroir, a term deeply rooted in viticulture, doesn’t simply refer to the ground on which a vineyard grows. It is so much more complex, encompassing the unique combination of soil, climate, topography and human intervention that gives each wine its distinct character. Champagne’s geological diversity, ranging from chalk and limestone to clay and sand, imparts distinctive nuances to the grapes grown here. Among the myriad soil types found in Champagne, clay holds a special significance. Known for its water retention properties and ability to regulate vine water stress, clay soils contribute to the vitality and longevity of vineyards. This can influence grape ripening, acidity levels and grape quality. Taking a moment to look at our feature wines, Soutiran Signature Grand Cru Brut and Leclerc Briant Brut Reserve, the role of clay in champagne production becomes evident through the wines' expression. While Soutiran reflects a mineral-driven elegance synonymous with clay-influenced terroir, Leclerc Briant's expression showcases a broader spectrum of flavours, owing to its blend of grapes sourced from diverse soil types. Both wines are truly exceptional and an excellent example of how terroir plays a role in shaping the identity and quality of every bottle.
