Appellation : A.O.C Champagne

Grape : 100% Chardonnay Brut

The Champagne presents a pale green yellow dress enhanced with pale green yellow hints. Of a fresh and rather fluid aspect, it is covered by fine and light bubbles offering a delicate crackling.

The first nose reminds of smells of green apple,

brioche, chalk, raspberry, white pepper, lily, pistachio, lemon heart. When aerated, it turns to notes of almond paste, fresh mint, dill, blanched almond, pear with anise shades. A further aeration reveals flavours of grilled hazelnut, a floral bouquet a nd iodized accents.

The approach in the palate is soft and fresh with a creamy and melted effervescence. The wine develops with a density of fleshy white fruit and citrus fruit, well enhanced by a tense acidity with lemony and aniseed tones. The mid-palate is orchestrated by a very pure chalky minerality which brings tactile dimension. The delicate return of fragrances of white

and yellow flowers sustains the elegance and vinosity of this thoroughbred Champagne.

The final set on dried fruits and iodine is marked by a tactile and aromatic footprint, tasty and lingering.

LE BRUN DE NEUVILLE

For over 150 years, the Le Brun de Neuville family has resided on the heights of Béthon. The memory of Lady Le Brun de Neuville, who owned the Chateau until the 19th century, still lives in the hearts of its tenants. Her noble heir to the Chateau and founder of the Cave, Lady de Reviers, later post-humorously awarded her the name “Le Brun de Neuville”.

The Domain of LeBrun de Neuville covers 152 hectares of vines, located in the dale of Sézannais’ knolls in one of the Champagne region’s cradles.

This territory hold very particular components: its climate, soil, under-soil, and reliefs combine to create a specific combination that draws out each vine’s very best. The Coast of Sézanne rests on affluent clay. This AOC vinery, supporting reasonable culture, also benefits from a micro-climate that protects its vines.

The cave turns 88% of its vines into Chardonnay, a variety especially eminent in Champagne for its finesse and typical floral aromas.

The Champagne ages within the Béthon domain, a continuous process beginning in tanks and progressing to bottles in contact with dead yeast. These bottles are stocked 18 metres underground, in caves at 14 degrees, and age on wooden planks for multiple years. The House of LeBrun de Neuville imposes on its bottles a rest period of at least 36 months, far above the forced 15 months.

After long months of aging in the silence of the domain’s caves, the bottles are put to the final steps of Champagne-making that will give them their tones of noblesse.

Amongst the high-class clients of Le Brun de Neuville are found numerous prestigious restaurants. For many years, Marseille’s Villa Massalia, Chamalières’ Le Radio, Paris’ Le Lutetia and the Georges V, Évian’s La Verniaz, and Cucuron’s La Petite Maison have offered their international clients Le Brun de Neuville selections.
