Champagne Leclere-Minard

🍾 Champagne Leclere-Minard: Artisan Precision in Montagne de Reims

Clément Leclere leads this family estate in Coulommes-la-Montagne, in the heart of the Petite Montagne de Reims. After formative experiences with Julien Guillot and David Léclapart, he took over 2.3 hectares of vines across three terroirs: Coulommes, Tramery, and Courmas. His approach is free-spirited, experimental, and deeply rooted in respect for nature.
