Description
What kind of wine is it
Vincent Brochet Champagne Blanc de Blanc Chardonnay Nature is a sparkling wine that expresses the pure character of the grape variety.

Where does it come from
This wine originates from Écueil, in the renowned Montagne de Reims, a historic area of Champagne. The Vincent Brochet winery operates with the dedication typical of an independent winemaker. The company philosophy is based on an approach aimed at bringing out the authentic personality of the terroir. Vineyard management, carried out according to organic and sustainable practices, encourages the development of grapes rich in identity. The Champagne produced in this specific context enhances the local soil and climate conditions, resulting in a direct and rigorous territorial expression.
How is it produced
The Chardonnay grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness. Vinification involves an initial spontaneous fermentation in old oak barrels, activated exclusively by indigenous yeasts. The wine matures for nine months on the lees in barrel, acquiring complexity and structure. The secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle according to the Traditional Method, preserving the original freshness. The absence of dosage defines an essential profile, resulting in a sparkling wine that enhances the raw material with absolute aromatic precision.
