CHAMPAGNE ABYSS Brut Zéro 2017

Leclerc-Briant's cuvée ABYSS was specifically created for underwater aging. The grapes that compose ABYSS are hand-picked and harvested from select Champagne villages renowned for their specific limestone subsoil. These carefully chosen terroirs are in perfect resonance with the marine sediment in the Bay of Stiff, located at the eastern tip of Ile d'Ouessant off the coast of Brittany. The grapes come exclusively from the 2017 harvest. Bottled in July 2018, disgorged in July 2021 and then submerged under the sea in September of the same year, ABYSS was raised from the depths 10 months later.
