Emmanuel Brochet Selected (base 2020) Extra Brut Champagne

Emmanuel Brochet hails from the Villers-aux-Noeuds village south of the city of Reims. He farms 2.5 hectares of vines, all located in a single parcel, and planted with all three major varieties with the oldest vines dating back to 1962. The vineyard was converted to organic viticulture starting with the 2008 vintage, which he does more out of respect for the land than something he necessarily believes results in better wine.

New for this release is the first NV wine to appear under the Selected label from the premier cru village of Pierry. A blend of 70% Pinot Meunier and 30% Chardonnay, this release is 65% 2020 vintage with the balance reserve wine, all raised in oak and disgorged in 2023 with a dosage of 3 g/L.
