For him, as for other winegrowers in the village, it's a question of going back to the basics of champagne cooperatives. The idea is not to mix grapes from different producers, but to pool the tools needed to make wines that are unique to each cooperative member. As a result, Clément benefits from a more than comfortable environment in which to make his wine. Trained at a good school, Clément carefully selects the press fractions from his juices, then lets them ferment with indigenous yeasts. The wine is then matured in\u003cstrong\u003e oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, both for the vins clairs and for the coteaux champenois.Today, Clément's work is closely watched by connoisseurs of winegrowers' champagnes, and it's easy to see why on tasting...\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"coteaux-champenois-blanc-chemins-des-roses-2021-champagne-leclere-minard","title":"Côteaux Champenois Blanc \"Chemins des Roses\" 2021 - Champagne Leclere-Minard","description":"\u003cp data-oe-version=\"1.2\"\u003e 👨🏼‍🌾Coteaux Champenois Blanc made by \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eClément Leclere-Minard.\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Ardre Valley offers us a Pinot Meunier white wine.
