Louis Brochet Extra Brut

A great introduction to the house and a wine that punches above its price point. A beautifully fresh Premier Cru blend of all three noble grapes that is enriched by introduction of reserve wines. Works wonderfully as an aperitif or with seafood dishes.

House Profile

The Brochet name bounds around the region of Champagne and beyond. But not this one. Until now. Having tasted several hundred wines during an exhausting trip to Champagne, we came across this magic producer and the wine jumped out of the glass at us. Based in the village of Ecueil in the north west of the region, they produce masterfully juicy, rich wines from their ample 13 hectare holdings. They hold both VD and HVE and you sense that honesty, thought and precision in their wines.
