"11 years of aging"

“Aromas of brioche, lemon, and white flowers unfold on the nose, along with Granny Smith apple and pear. Large, airy bubbles float over a soft palate of honeyed apples. Honeysuckle adds fragrance to the finish.” (The Gault & Millau Wine Guide 2021) After the second fermentation and during bottle aging, the yeasts gradually die off and undergo autolysis: they release microorganisms that interact with the wine, imparting richness and complexity.

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

A cooperative founded in 1963 by about twenty growers from the southern slopes of Sézanne, which at the time had few vineyards. The cooperative has grown alongside new plantings: today it covers 150 hectares, predominantly planted with Chardonnay, and has 170 members. The wines are aged in the cellar for at least four years.

Rated Estate (2021 Guide) Recommended (Recommended)

About the estate:

Le Brun de Neuville is located in Bethon, in the Sézannais region, a few kilometers from Villenauxe-la-Grande. Here, the dominant grape variety is Chardonnay, just as in the renowned Côte des Blancs. Although less well-known, the Sézannais region nevertheless produces excellent grapes that reveal slightly more exotic aromas, with notes of pineapple and mango. Le Brun de Neuville is the brand of the Bethon wine cooperative, which today comprises 170 winemakers and 150 hectares of vineyards. Often referred to as “the little winery on the rise,” this cooperative produces exceptional wines, all of which are aged for at least four years before being released for sale.

Rated Estate (2021 Guide) Cité

About the estate:

In a Champagne region where more and more producers are toning down their winemaking style to highlight the expression of the terroir, Le Brun de Neuville deserves special attention. This cooperative winery (300,000 bottles/year) uses only grapes from the Sézannais region, located southwest of Épernay, on the edge of the Aube department. It is a low-key region prized by the major houses for its rich and smooth Chardonnays, yet its wines remain relatively unknown. Under the dynamic leadership of its president, Damien Champy, who joined in 2008, Le Brun de Neuville produces clean, straightforward wines dominated by Chardonnay. The 2008 vintage marked the beginning of the progress made over the past twelve years.
