Champagne Alexis Leconte

Vallée de la MarneTroissyRMRMRécoltant ManipulantA grower who makes champagne only from fruit grown on their own land. This is the grower-producer category, and the strictest in terms of sourcing.Founded 1861

Champagne Alexis Leconte works from 7 rue des Berceaux in Troissy, in the western Vallée de la Marne, where the Leconte family has grown grapes since 1861.

The house has kept its own pace through every vintage, and the cellar still works the way it always has: one press, one tank, one decision at a time.

Everything here is allowed to settle slowly. The wines rest longer than the market asks for, and the family tastes the whole range before anything leaves the cellar.

What follows is written from visits, from bottles opened too early and a few opened at exactly the right moment.

The house has kept its own pace through every vintage, and the cellar still works the way it always has: one press, one tank, one decision at a time.
