Champagne Le Brun de Neuville Millésime 2012
DESCRIPTION
The year 2012 will remain etched in the history of Champagne: despite sharp cold and low sunshine, nature gave birth to one of the region's most beautiful vintages. Le Brun de Neuville captures this "imprint of nature" through a rigorous selection of plots located on the Côte de Sézanne, benefiting from clay-limestone soil.
This patient wine is composed mainly of Chardonnay (97.5%), supplemented by a touch of Pinot Noir (2.5%). The vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks with malolactic fermentation carried out to provide roundness. The true secret of this cuvée lies in its immense resting time: 128 months of aging on lees, or more than ten years in the cellar, allowing the wine to develop an exceptional aromatic patina.
Upon tasting, the 2012 Vintage offers a unique expression of maturity and preserved freshness. It is a gastronomic Champagne, revealing complex notes and a silky texture supported by a balanced dosage of 6 g/l. It will wonderfully accompany noble dishes such as pan-seared scallops or fish in a cream sauce.
REGION
Champagne
France
Champagne is not only the wine of grand celebrations, it is also a unique region in the world, located in the northeast of France. With its limestone hillsides and a cooler climate than any other French wine region, it gives rise to wines of unmatched finesse.
The three emblematic grape varieties (Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay) flourish here despite the harsh climate, thanks to chalky soils that retain both warmth and minerality. Artfully blended, they create the most famous of sparkling wines: Champagne AOC, a symbol of elegance and craftsmanship.
