David Leclapart Coteaux Champenois Fun N’Rose 2022

David Léclapart Coteaux Champenois Fun N’Rose 2022 is a still rosé wine, not a sparkling Champagne, made entirely from Pinot Noir grown around Trépail in the Montagne de Reims. The fruit comes from biodynamically cultivated clay-limestone and chalk-influenced vineyards, giving the wine both ripe red-fruit character and the tense mineral freshness associated with Champagne’s cool northern terroir.

The cuvée was developed by David Léclapart together with his son Martin, reflecting the family’s growing interest in the lesser-known still wines of the Coteaux Champenois appellation. It offers a contemporary and highly limited interpretation of Pinot Noir from Trépail, focusing on delicacy, energy, and transparent fruit rather than extraction or weight.

For the 2022 release, the Pinot Noir received only a gentle infusion to extract its pale colour and delicate aromatics. The wine was fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured for approximately 14 months in barrel, without fining or filtration, preserving its natural texture and individual expression.
