Description
What kind of wine it is
Emmanuel Brochet Champagne Le Mont Benoit Extra Brut is an organic sparkling wine created from a harmonious blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir. Produced according to the strict principles of the Traditional Method, it displays a straw yellow colour and a fine, persistent perlage. On the nose, it reveals clear fruity aromas accompanied by floral nuances, while on the palate the Champagne unveils a mineral and refined character, supported by a taut and vibrant mouthfeel. This dry and decisive profile offers an authentic expression of its terroir.
Where it comes from
This label originates from plots situated around Villers-aux-Noeuds, a highly significant area near Reims. The vines sink their roots into chalk-rich soils, a natural element that imparts a distinct mineral component to the wine. Emmanuel Brochet works with meticulous care among the rows, placing respect for the identity of the grapes at the heart of his work. The focus on limited production ensures a faithful adherence to the characteristics of the place of origin, preserving the expressive purity of the terroir.
How it is produced
Production follows a principle of minimal intervention in the cellar, entrusting vinification to a spontaneous fermentation with only indigenous yeasts. To preserve the integrity of the material and aromatic precision, the must undergoes neither filtration nor clarification. The process includes a meticulous ageing on the lees for eleven months, a vital step in structuring the elegance of the perlage. The Extra Brut dosage ensures a dry and linear sip, an expression of an artisan approach aimed at enhancing the integrity of the fruit.
