Brut HÉRITAGE
70% Pinot Noir – 20% Chardonnay – 10% Pinot Meunier
Our Brut reflects the grape variety of our vineyard, with a strong Pinot Noir dominance: the Montagne de Reims where the estate is located with the villages of Ecueil, Sacy and Villers aux Noeuds classified Premier Cru; the Ardre Valley with pretty sunny hillsides on the terroirs of Branscourt, Mery-Premecy and Treslon. All worked in sustainable viticulture, labeled HVE3 and VDC.
Depending on the bottling, the Brut is made up of the latest harvest, supplemented by reserve wines kept in thermo-regulated vats or in 300-liter oak barrels (stainless steel tank for ou Soléra since 2010). This blend gives it its identity and its constant style.
DVE Guide « A pretty yearless Brut that is both silky and winey. Endearing personality. »

On the go: small dice of truffled Gouda.

extra brut HÉRITAGE
70% Pinot Noir – 20% Chardonnay – 10% Pinot Meunier
The particularity of Champagne is a treasure that lies dormant in our wineries: these are the reserve wines. Each year a part of the harvest is kept to form the reserve wine. Here at the Champagne Louis Brochet we always have at least two previous years in pure vats. And in addition, the Soléra which contains our reserve wines since 2010.
This cuvée is distinguished by its lower dosage of expedition liqueur, always made from our reserve wines. Lovers of very dry wines will be delighted with this champagne, where they will find the expression of wine in its original nature.

On the go: breadsticks and hummus.

Rosé Héritage
70% Pinot Noir – 20% Chardonnay – 10% Pinot Meunier
This red wine (5% Pinot Noir from the Le Mont-Benoit plot in Villers aux Noeuds) from our production is the result of a careful selection of grapes with optimal phenolic maturity. The three grape varieties used in the composition of our Rosé Héritage reflect the overall grape variety of our vineyard, on the terroirs of the Montagne de Reims and the Vallée de l’Ardre.
The final blend reveals a strong Pinot Noir dominance and is made up, depending on the bottling, of the latest harvest completed by our reserve wines (Soléra since 2010), stored in temperature-controlled vats or in 300-liter oak barrels. Unlike our white champagnes, aging in the bottle is shorter in order to preserve the freshness of the fruity aromas characteristic of this cuvée.
DVE Guide “Rosé champagne of good quality that will be destined for the table”.
Food and wine pairing: strawberries with basil or Rossini salmon with cranberry sauce.
On the go: with a Chiffonnade of Iberian Ham.

Réserve Perpétuelle
100% Pinot Noir
Our Réserve Perpétuelle starts in 2010 and is made up for this 2019 bottling from the years 2010 to 2016. The bottle is corked during the bottling with a cork stopper, held in place by a clip. We have chosen this ancestral technique, used before the 1960s and the arrival of pull capsules, and which allows excellent preservation of the aromatic complexity of this cuvée.
“Réserve Perpétuelle” was born in the spirit of a careful selection of Pinots Noirs from our plots classified as Premier Cru of the Montagne de Reims. The starting point is the 2010 harvest, in which a variable percentage of clear wine from the new harvest is added each year. This 2019 edition therefore contains 7 harvests (2010-2011-2012-2013-2014-2015-2016) and offers a lot of aromatic complexity and rich taste.
After aging in the bottle on the lees of “prise de mousse”, the tasting appears naturally balanced and did not need a dosage at disgorging.
Guide DVE « Beautiful cuvée whose maturity and tension are appreciated »
Food-wine pairing: Supreme of yellow chicken, figs and green beans or sweetbreads in a casserole dish.
On the go: a Comté matured for 18 months.
