De geschiedenis van Champagne Xavier Leconte gaat terug tot 1870, toen Onésime Leconte viticultuur introduceerde in de familie. In 1980 nam vijfde generatie Xavier Leconte de traditie over en begon zijn carrière als zelfstandige grower. Vol ambitie onleedde hij de bodem, vergrootte het areaal en plantte Chardonnay aan tussen de al aanwezige Pinot Noir en Pinot Meunier. Beetje bij beetje leaste hij extra wijngaarden van zijn ouders en vestigde zijn eerste winery. Sinds 2003 heeft Alexis de leiding van het huis overgenomen en zet de trend voort voor het creëren van terroir-gedomineerde Champagnes. Het areaal van Xavier Leconte is verdeeld over 40 kleine percelen verspreid over de gemeenten Troissy, Dormans, Mareuil-le-Port, Vandières en Aÿ. Alexis werkt met respect voor de natuur en werkt net als zijn overgrootvader in wijngaard en kelder kijkend naar de maanstanden en de natuurlijke cyclus van de aarde.
The history of Champagne Xavier Leconte dates back to 1870, when Onésime Leconte introduced viticulture to the family. In 1980 fifth generation Xavier Leconte took over the tradition and started his career as an independant grower. Full of ambition he dissected the soils, increased the acreage and planted Chardonnay among the already present Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Little by little he leased additional vineyards from his parents and then established his first winery. Since 2003 Alexis is in charge of the estate and proceeds the trend of creating terroir-dominated Champagnes. The acreage of Xavier Leconte is divided over 40 small plots spread over the villages Troissy, Dormans, Mareuil-le-Port, Vandières and Aÿ. Alexis organises his work like his grandfather: With respect for nature and respecting the phases of the moon. He applies practises based on the natural cycle of the earth.
