Emmanuel Brochet Le Mont Benoit (base 2019) 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.

This year the source of Le Mont Benoit is 80% 2019 vintage with reserve wine completing the balance. The blend is certified organic 35% Pinot Meunier, 40% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay grapes. Zero dosage is added, and production is 12085 bottles.
