David Léclapart grew up in contact with the rhythms of the vine and wine. After a conventional non-viticultural education, he trained at the Beaujeu School of Agrobiology and returned to the estate with a desire to know and learn, a passionate desire to work in harmony with nature, a vital need to respect living things “from the vine to the glass”.

Biodynamic viticulture alone brings him joy in this quest, in this apprenticeship, even if the risks and difficulties sometimes give rise to doubts and discouragement. This agricultural philosophy enables him to realise and respect four principles : purity, energy, pleasure and ecology. 

Through biodynamic viticulture, he helps the vines to be reborn and grow by solar and terrestrial forces, offering you purity, energy and pleasure. He works in the same way in the cellar as he does in the vineyard. He avoids any oenological technology that might amputate, injure or distort the soul of his wine. Only the alchemy (terroir, climate, grape variety and the work of man) stimulates his winemaking spirit. 

He now works 3 hectares at Trépail, 1er cru, 90% of his vineyard is made up of Chardonnay chardonnay, which he vinifies in Champagne and in coteau champenois in certain years. The rest is pinot noir, vinified in coteau champenois red or in Champagne blanc de noir. The l’aphrodisiaque cuvée is made from 80% chardonnay and 20% pinot noir, reflecting his entire terroir.
