Champagne Louis Brochet

Noble Grape continues its quest for the best and affordable grower Champagnes.

Louis Brochet was founded in Ecueil in the Montagne de Reims in 1881, the heart of Champagne's Pinot Noir country, and now run by the 5th generation of the family, brother and sister Louis and Hélène Brochet. With some recent acquisitions including the prestigious Mont Benoit cru, the estate now has 13 hectares of vines spread across 50 separate parcels.

Brochet is proud of their Pinot Noir vineyards in Ecueil, from selection massale that was made in the 19th century by the founder Marie Arsene Brochet. These specially selected vines contribute 75% of the Champagnes of Louis Brochet: what they call 'Pinot Noir d'Ecueil'.

What we admire about these wines is their maturity and elegance. Each wine is properly aged in the cellar, with judicious use of reserve wine from their solera, and up to 3 years sur latte for the non-vintage range.
