Leclerc Briant, Abyss Brut Zero 2015

RRP £206

In the name of bioenergetics, bottles of this unique Leclerc Briant cuvée are submerged in the sea, near Brittany, for a year. An equal blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier, the wine is rich and saline, with ripe apple and peach fruit meeting iodine and chalk. The aromatics are evolved already, yet the palate remains very fresh. Adding to the zinginess, there is a salty tang on the bone-dry palate.
