Vintage Character This exceptional Gaspard Brochet 333.F Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut from the 2023 vintage showcases the thrilling precision of Écueil Premier Cru terroir. The 2023 season required rigorous vineyard sorting due to summer rains, yet it ultimately rewarded quality-focused growers with bountiful, expressive Pinot Noir showing bright acidity. Sourced from chalk-rich, clay-sandy soils in the Montagne de Reims, this Champagne derives its intense structural depth and mineral focus directly from these distinct premier cru slopes.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the palate, it delivers a precise tension marked by red apple, wild strawberry, and crushed chalk minerality, seamlessly rounded by notes of brioche and toasted almond from native yeast fermentation in oak. The finish is remarkably dry and persistent, reflecting its low-dosage Extra Brut style. Pair this vibrant Champagne with classic pan-seared scallops or a delicate Cantonese steamed turbot to beautifully highlight its crisp texture and saline finish.
Winery Background Representing the vanguard of Grower Champagne, winemaker Gaspard Brochet operates this micro-estate with a philosophy of minimal intervention and organic farming in Écueil. By vinifying only a fraction of his family's vineyards, Gaspard produces highly sought-after micro-cuvées, fermenting entirely in oak barrels with natural yeasts and bottling without filtration. This artisanal approach yields a vinous, structured, and pure expression that has quickly established him as a benchmark modern producer.
