Rècoltant-manipulant of Trépail - a small Premier Cru village north of Ambonnay, in the heart of the Montagne de Reims - David Léclapart, upon the death of his father, decided to devote himself entirely to biodynamic agriculture. In 1997, he converted all the vineyards owned by the family, 3 hectares of land, and makes three important decisions: not to add dosage liquor, not to use vin de réserve nor to assemble different vintages. The principles that govern the work in the cellar are identical to those in the vineyard: precision, respect for life and of its rhythms, search for purity.

For the Astre of Léclapart there is a very long stay on the lees (7 years!), no addition of wines from other vintages, no dosage, to savor the wine exactly as it is, "nature". On the nose as on the palate it is rich and complex and characterized by an oxidative and mature style.
