Champagne Fromentin Leclapart is a family business in Bouzy (Grand Cru, Côte des Noirs), active since 1718 (10th generation, currently Jean-Baptiste and Barbara Fromentin), although some sources date the modern continuity from 1925 or 1954. The estate manages about 5 hectares of vineyards and follows integrated viticulture (HVE) and biodynamic principles (Raisonné).
- Vineyards: Located on the southern slope of the Montagne de Reims, with Pinot Noir as the dominant grape (for power and length) and Chardonnay (for freshness and elegance).
- Method: Full control of the process, from vineyard to bottling, including vinification in cuves and oak barrels (for the Cuvée Barbara).
- Champagnes:
- Brut Tradition: Dominant Pinot Noir, fresh and fruity.
- Extra Brut: Low sugar content, emphasises fruit and freshness.
- Brut Rosé: Made by adding Bouzy Rouge.
- Blanc de Noirs: 100% Pinot Noir, powerful and structured.
- Cuvée Barbara: Prestige cuvée, fermented and aged in oak barrels (>4 years).
- Bouzy Rouge: Still red wine of 100% Pinot Noir.
Visits are possible by appointment at 1 rue Paul Doumer, 51150 Bouzy.
