Based in the picturesque
Troissy-Bouquigny region of the Vallée de la Marne,
Champagne Alexis is an emerging icon in the world of fine
wine. Alexis Leconte, sixth generation of the Champagne
Xavier Leconte estate, brought a fresh and innovative
perspective to the winemaking in 2015 when he founded the
Champagne Alexis winery..
The history of the Champagne Alexis is deeply rooted in
wine tradition. The roots of Maison Xavier Leconte go back
to 1861, when Onésime Leconte laid the foundation for a
long tradition of winemaking. In 1980, Xavier, Alexis'
father, took the reins and led the family business to new
heights. Alexis took over from his father in 2013 and
immediately began making his mark by reintroducing organic
and biodynamic principles to both the vineyard and wine
making, an approach previously employed by his grandfather (way
ahead of his time!).
Whilst Alexis has introduced many positive changes to the
Xavier Leconte estate, he still respects its traditions,
hence the introduction of the Champagne Alexis estate in
2015, whereby Alexis can fully express his ideas and
philosophies without constraint.
What makes Champagne Alexis so special are its four core
qualities: complexity, consistency, depth and harmony. With
the main grape variety Meunier from Troissy and the noble
Pinot Noir from Aÿ, this champagne offers a taste
experience that is both traditional and innovative. For
wine lovers and connoisseurs, the Champagne Alexis winery
promises to be one of the most promising new discoveries in
the region.
