Champagne Emmanuel Brochet - Hauts Chardonnay

Emmanuel Brochet manages 2.5ha parcel of Le Mont Benoit which was inherited from the family, and had begun to produce the wine in 2002. The domaine is located in the village of Villers-Aux-Noeux in the Montagne de Reims and major three grape varietals(Pinot-Noir, Pinot-Meunier and Chardonnay) are planted. Old vines(planted in 1962) are arranged on the upper part of the hill and younger vines(planted in 80's) are on lower part.

This silt, clay and chalk vineyards are cultivated organically and were certified in 2011. He does not use any chemical in the vineyards and in the cellar as well. Fermentation is carried by wild yeasts and minimum SO2 is added. This all hand-made extra-brut champagne is being produced around 8,000-10,000 bottles/year.

First nose is showing some wood/oaky scent but this wine is developing so attractive, getting more aromatic after 3 hours breathing and unmistakable vibes, showing the talent of a brilliant wine making, layers upon layer. 

This is an ultra powerful set of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay that takes us lost in space, travel throughout the universe, walking onto the moon and back.
