2014 Emmanuel Brochet Les Hauts Meunier 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.

The 2014 Les Hauts Meuniers by Emmanuel Brochet is a Blanc de Noirs, 100% Pinot Meunier from a single parcel (lieu-dit) in the highest part of Mont Benoit. Extra Brut dosage of 2g/L for this refined Champagne, and production was 1,585 bottles.
