The Champagne Totem
Alexis Leconte’s Totem Brut NV is the perfect introduction to the world of his characterful champagnes. This cuvée, made from 70% Pinot Meunier, 20% Pinot Noir and 10% Chardonnay, embodies pure joie de vivre and dynamism. The nose is expressive and spicy, with aromas of white pepper and hints of citrus. On the palate, the freshness continues with crisp citrus notes, chalky minerality and a lively perlage. The Totem is uncomplicated and generous, yet impressively structured. Its pull and grip make it a champagne that brings energy and fun to every glass.
The careful selection of the grapes and the reduced dosage emphasize the philosophy of Alexis Leconte: champagnes that are both accessible and profound, without compromising on quality.
