Founded in 1878 and based in Avize, the heart of the Grand Cru Chardonnay terroirs, Champagne Leclaire-Thiefaine is a sixth-generation family estate deeply rooted in the Côte des Blancs. Today led by Constantin Leclaire-Thiefaine, who returned to the domaine in 2020, the house combines heritage with a modern, terroir-driven vision.
The estate cultivates 4 hectares of vineyards, exclusively planted to Chardonnay across prestigious sites including Avize and Cramant Grand Cru, Grauves 1er Cru, and Monthelon. Committed to parcel-by-parcel vinification, Constantin emphasizes precision, biodiversity, and soil health — with the oldest plots worked by horse and plough.
Each cuvée reflects a meticulous blending of individual parcels t express the identity of the terroir. Lightly dosed and aged for a minimum of four years in the cellar, the six limited, individually numbered cuvées are renowned for their purity, freshness, elegance, and refined, diaphanous style —a true expression of Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs.
