LIEBART-REGNIER CHAMPAGNE

In 1960, the young winegrower Lucien Liebart settled with his wife Georgette Regnier in Baslieux sous Chatillon , a typical little village in the Marne Valley, and together they founded the LIEBART-REGNIER Champagne House. When his father died in 1987, Laurent naturally took over the family vines, and was later assisted by his wife Valérie.

As an independent winegrower, Laurent works hard to ensure that his champagnes reproduce the expressiveness of their land. Laurent respects the environment and has turned to integrated vine growing. He is curious to learn and use alternative techniques such as incorporating lunar cycles during planting, tilling, cover planting, sexual confusion and so on, putting these methods into pratice to cultivate his vines.

NV CONFIDENCIA
+792571 · 6x750ml

80% cask-fermented Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Noir.
Made with a majority of white Chardonnay the Confidencia is now a non-vintage. The winery has blended Chardonnay grapes (vintages 2010, 2011, 2012, 2014), that were fermented in small new Burgundian 228L oak barrels, with the Pinot Noir from 2014 which was aged in stainless steel tanks. Amber yellow with lustrous green, bronze hues. Lovely fizz on pouring with persistent bubbles which settle into a dense, delicate cordon around the rim of the glass. Aromas of cream rapidly gives way to balsamic with notes of eucalyptus, geranium, and lemony vanilla. There is a definite presence of wood, but it is delicate and nuanced. It adds complexity and sets the imagination in motion. The initial sensation is of grippy, zippy con-fit citrus but a gentle walnut liqueur and mandarin peel tartness quickly comes to the fore. This is achieved by controlled oxidation when the wine is aged in casks before blending, which also explains the balsamic dimension with its notes of peat and spicy tobacco.
Degorgement: April 22nd, 2021.
Dosage: 7 g/L
An exceptional champagne for any occasion. Serve at 9-10°C with a fish carpaccio sprinkled with Espelette pepper, a veal noisette gently flavoured with saffron or some varieties of soft cheese.
