About
ORIGIN is the House’s state of mind. A code in which the color indicates the grape variety, the letters express the terroir, the numbers illustrate the base years and the dosage. This modern approach affirms Valentin Leflaive’s desire to play on transparency.
Terroir
Terroir d’Avize. The average age of the vines is 20 years old. Chalky soil with a Southeast exposure. 170m above sea level. Sustainably grown
Vinification
The harvest is 100% manual. The pressing is fractional, (prunings are separated and eliminated). The wines are vinified in thermoregulated stainless-steel vats. 24% of reserve wine went into this cuvée.
Tasting Notes
This delicate champagne with a pale gold hue reveals a complex nose where orange zest and white flowers balance harmoniously. Its mouth is fresh and delicate with citrus lace and chalky notes. Its long finish accompanies this mineral minerality.
