The NV Valentin Leflaive Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut is a bright, elegant Champagne rooted in the Côte des Blancs rather than the Vallée de la Marne: its CV cuvée blends 52% Vertus Premier Cru, 27% Bergères-les-Vertus Premier Cru and 21% Cramant Grand Cru, all 100% Chardonnay. The vineyards sit on clay-limestone and Campanian chalk at 100–210m, with south and south-easterly exposure. Valentin Leflaive, founded by Burgundy’s Olivier Leflaive and launched in 2015, opened its Oger cellar in 2020; chef de cave Christophe Pitois oversees production. The NV base is 2019, with 56% reserve wines and 39 months ageing. Expect peach, apricot, pastry and saline freshness. Brilliant with oysters, sole meunière or roast chicken.
