Tasting Notes
Emmanuel Brochet 'Les Hauts Meuniers' Extra Brut 2013 offers a refined and complex profile, crafted exclusively from Pinot Meunier grapes sourced from premier cru vineyards. The nose reveals pronounced aromas of citrus fruits and green apple. On the palate, it is a tad austere, rounded with high acidity and a long finish. - Peter L
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.
