Muchada-Léclapart
Description
Data of interest
Muchada-Léclapart is the personal project of David Léclapart (a renowned French Champagne winemaker) together with Alejandro Muchada (a wine producer from Jerez, Spain). They form the perfect team, with one bringing experience and knowledge of biodynamic agriculture and the other the expertise of the French school.
The goal of this young and innovative team is to create a great white wine, without flor and without fortification, focused on the Jerez region and based on two essential characteristics: the Palomino grape and the albariza soil.
This winery boasts some of the best vineyards in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, in the historic Miraflores estate, and benefits from a climate strongly influenced by the Atlantic Ocean. The Spanish-French team has restored 3 hectares of old vineyards with ancient massal selections of Palomino Fino and Moscatel from Chipiona.
In their winemaking philosophy, they are clear: minimal intervention techniques, organic farming, adding a minimum amount of sulfur (less than 10% of the usual), without using selected yeasts or acids, preserving the lees, and bottling without filtration. With this delicate work, they manage to produce a sensational wine: a dry, saline, and mineral white with seductive and pleasant aromas, long on the palate, and highly gastronomic.
