Description
Chalk dominant soils and cool exposures in the Premier Cru village of Trépail define the origin of NV David Leclapart Champagne Pas Dosé L’Aphrodisiaque, sourced entirely from Chardonnay grown under biodynamic management. Vineyard work emphasizes low yields, detailed canopy alignment, and regenerative soil practices adapted to each parcel’s slope and exposure. Base wines ferment spontaneously in oak barrels, after which reserve components from multiple years are assembled to refine balance prior to tirage. Extended aging on lees follows, with disgorgement carried out without dosage to preserve the wine’s natural tension. Within Leclapart’s range, L’Aphrodisiaque functions as a key reference for studying how parcel variation, oak fermentation, and prolonged lees contact interact over time, informing long term decisions around biodynamic viticulture and low intervention Champagne production in Trépail.
