A perfect
producer of absolute world class right through the
entire range. It is a loving pleasure to follow
David’s journey to the top. — Richard Juhlin (*****, 5-star) David Léclapart crafts Champagnes of personality and distinction from his tiny cellar in Trépail. — Antonio Galloni . . Léclapart’s wines also possess an uncommon complexity and vitality, and at their best, they number among the finest wines of the Montagne de Reims. — Peter Liem, “CHAMPAGNE” |

In the realm of grower Champagne, few names
command as much awe and ardour as David Léclapart. There is
nothing as emblematic of the movement’s cutting
edge as the champagnes made by Léclapart. They are
indisputably in a class of their own. |
Léclapart’s ardent followers seek out his champagnes because they provide a unique emotional experience. We habitually refer to them as ‘spiritual’ champagnes, unearthly juice with distinctive personalities and unfathomable levels of energy.
These sleek bone-dry champagnes find their origin in David Léclapart’s biodynamic vineyards in Trépail, a prized premier cru village in the Montagne de Reims where Chardonnay vines dominate. His vineyard surface area covers only 3 hectares but is spread across 22 different parcels.
David is first and foremost a farmer — one who is a passionate practitioner and a vocal advocate of biodynamics. Every year, he works relentlessly to express the true voice of his vineyards using the vintage as a lens.
The obsessive care he puts in his vineyards extends to the cellar where everything is natural and nothing is added other than a homeopathic amount of sulphur prior to bottling. All primary fermentations are by natural yeasts and all see full malolactic conversion. His best sites are fermented in small old wood barrels which thus lend his wines a powerfully vinous character.

Léclapart’s champagnes demand the taster to fully engage and inquire. They expect you to be ready to discard whatever notion you already have about fine wines in order to experience their essence. Earnest tasters very quickly realise that these champagnes are not just about flavours. There is texture, energy, inner mouth perfume and a unique spiritual presence. They are impossibly alive. They are ever changing in the glass. Their intrigue lures you to keep sipping. The sensation is indescribable yet palpable.
As more wine lovers seek out terroir, clarity and precision in their champagnes, David Léclapart’s creations have become the archetype of a new aesthetic that redefines how people view Champagne. What was once considered avant-garde has inspired a multitude of young vignerons who emulate him in placing the primacy of nature and terroir above man-made tradition, commercial ambition and whims of fashion.
There is truth in every bottle of Léclapart. They represent a perfect confluence of Nature’s and Man’s genius. We cherish every opportunity we are given to taste Léclapart’s champagnes, and we are grateful to have become friends with the man himself — one of the nicest and humblest vignerons we know.

David Léclapart
is a self-taught biodynamic artist who, with loving
management, creates masterpieces in harmony with
nature. His scratchy-dry and fresh wine has a bite
and sting like few others while crystal clear,
clean, and silky soft. — Richard Juhlin, “100 Champagnes you should try before you die” David is certainly a believer in the biodynamic creed, but more importantly he is an excellent winemaker with a “feeling” for fine wine that raises his craft to a higher level. — Michael Edwards, “The Finest Wines of Champagne” |

I’ve never had a
champagne like it—the focus and purity is awesome. — Wine Rant These are highly individual Champagnes, marked by a striking purity and elegance, as well as a racy tension and savoury complexity derived from Trépail’s chalky soils. — Decanter These are rich, vinous Champagnes that benefit from considerable aeration and enough time to follow their gradual evolution in the glass. — Antonio Galloni |
