The perfect balance between the three grape varieties gives the Champagne complexity and harmony, with notes reminiscent of flowers, citrus, and ripe fruit. It is a great bottle for connoisseurs, to be enjoyed during a special evening.

The "Le Mont Benoit" is an Extra Brut Premier Cru Champagne made by a young vigneron, who cultivates a small estate. The vineyards of Emmanuel Brochet extend over a total area of about 2.5 hectares, located in Villers-aux-Nœuds, a few kilometers south of the city of Reims. The soils are made up of clays and silt, which rest on a deep substrate of limestone matrix. Emmanuel inherited the family vineyards deciding not to sell the grapes anymore, to start producing an excellent monocru Champagne. A label that is the perfect representation of the typical characteristics of the territory. In the countryside, organic farming protocols are used, without resorting to chemicals. The Champagne Brochet is born from mature grapes of the highest quality, from a vinification and aging process carried out with precision and artisanal care. It is a label of great balance, an authentic expression of a great terroir.

On the palate, it is refined, with a creamy and long sip, which unfolds harmoniously towards a fresh and pleasantly savory finish.
