?the Champagne house<\/strong> The brown of Neuville<\/strong> was founded in 1963. Since its beginnings, it has been built around winemakers, all driven by the same desire: to introduce the world to the wines of the C\u00f4te de S\u00e9zanne, a true extension of Chardonnay and the C\u00f4te des Blancs.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n? Today, it's Damien Champy and his team who have masterfully managed the Lebrun de Neuville house and its very own style.
\nThe house owns vines located in the hollow of the S\u00e9zanne hillside. 90 % of the blend is chardonnay, complemented by pinot noir. All the vines are planted in 12 different villages, each with its own distinct characteristics, enabling the domaine to create blends that best reflect the region.<\/span><\/p>\n

Champagne Le Brun de Neuville cuv\u00e9es not to be missed\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n


\nFirst, let's talk about C\u00f4te de S\u00e9zanne<\/b>
\n<\/span><\/h3>\n

? It's an area that's less talked about, but it's made up of a thin layer of earth that covers calcite granules. It's complicated to understand, but this complexity of terroir, this creation, will allow water to be managed, thus avoiding water stress and providing the perfect nourishment for the vines. Not every terroir can boast a quality like this. <\/span>The estate is also a driving force in waste management and environmentally-friendly practices with neighboring winegrowers.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Vintage 2008 Le Brun de Neuville<\/b><\/a>
\n<\/span><\/h4>\n

The 2008 harvest was almost perfect. Although temperatures weren't kind during the winter, spring made up for lost time and the grapes were harvested in near-perfect health.
\nChardonnay and Pinot Noir will bring out the full expression of this vintage in a taut, powerful way. This 2008 cuv\u00e9e is a blend of 96 % of chardonnay and 4 % of pinot noir.
\nA very long ageing period of 156 months on lees will give the champag ne the time it needs to fully express itself.
\nThis is a racy, vinous champagne, with a dosage of 7g per liter. Rather rich and opulent, it is ideal for aperitif dinners and tasty dishes.
\n<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Vintage 2009 Le Brun de Neuville<\/b><\/a>
\n<\/span><\/h4>\n

The quality of 2009 will go down in history. The rather harsh winter slowed down vegetation, but a very mild spring enabled it to develop well and follow its vegetative cycle properly. The hot summer brought the grapes to superb ripeness and perfect health.
\nIn this vintage, 93 % of Chardonnay is blended and complemented by 7 % of Pinot Noir. Aged for 144 months, the Extra Brut dosage is 6 g\/l. In this vintage, we have the expression of highly aromatic grapes, opulent on the palate.
\nWhen it comes to food and wine pairing, this vintage is child's play: 2009 goes with practically everything, so complex and delicate is it at the same time. A foie gras toast or a truffle risotto cassolette will be magnificent with champagne.<\/span><\/p>\n

C\u00f4te Blanche - blanc de blancs Le Brun de Neuville<\/b><\/a>
\n<\/span><\/h4>\n

This cuv\u00e9e is surely the most aromatic and pulpy of the range. It comes from a 2018 Chardonnay of which 25 % of the wine is reserve wine.
\nThe champagne is then aged for 36 months on its lees to enhance its complexity and finesse.
\nThe perfect bottle to accompany aperitifs and raw fish such as sushi.
\n<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

C\u00f4te Brute Le Brun de Neuville<\/b><\/a>
\n<\/span><\/h4>\n

This cuv\u00e9e perfectly reflects the vineyards of the C\u00f4te de S\u00e9zanne. It is a blend of 68 % of Chardonnay and 32 % of Pinot Noir. Aged on lees for 36 months, it offers a complex, elegant champagne.
\nWith a little more density than some of the other cuv\u00e9es, this champagne can easily accompany foie gras or Bresse poultry.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Extra White Le Brun de Neuville<\/b><\/a>
\n<\/span><\/h4>\n

This extra brut cuv\u00e9e aims to reveal the chalky minerality of the C\u00f4te de S\u00e9zanne. Chardonnay is the only grape variety and is made from a base of 2016 vintage in 50 % of reserve wines.
\nFermentation will take place partly in stainless steel vats and partly in oak barrels, while malolactic fermentation will be carried out only partially. Aging on lees for 60 months will provide an interesting balance between the freshness of Malo and the texture of aging.
\nMinerality and freshness are the hallmarks of this champagne. This is why raw fish or Mediterranean fish will be sublimated by these bubbles.
\nScreaming, floral notes and a fresh finish will enhance the iodized taste of fish.
\n<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Le Chemin Emprunt\u00e9 - blanc de blancs<\/b><\/a>
\n<\/span><\/h4>\n

This cuv\u00e9e reflects the parcel-by-parcel approach to terroir. It comes from a southeast-facing parcel on clay and chalk soils, with an average vine age of 45 years. Slow fermentation takes place in barrel, and the wine is aged on lees for 10 months.
\nThe sugar content is low (4 grams) to allow the champagne to express itself to the full.
\nThis is a powerful, vinous champagne par excellence. Perfect with river fish, white fish with butter sauce or white-fleshed poultry.
\n<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

La Crois\u00e9e des Chemins - blanc de noirs et blancs Le Brun de Neuville<\/b><\/a>
\n<\/span><\/h4>\n

This cuv\u00e9e is a blend of two parcels from the C\u00f4te de S\u00e9zanne. Chardonnay dominates, with 75 % of the blend in 10 % aged in barrels, complemented by 25 % of Pinot Noir, including 70 % of reserve wines.
\nThe wine is aged on its lees for 10 months, and undergoes partial malolactic fermentation to leave a fresh, taut finish.
\nWith this gourmet cuv\u00e9e, we recommend pairing it with fairly rich dishes. Some red meats accompanied by a light sauce, fish with character and spicy poultry.\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Autolyse - black and white Champagne Le Brun de Neuville<\/b><\/a>
\n<\/span><\/h4>\n

The word autolysis is used to explain that yeasts die during bottle ageing, releasing complex aromas and adding body to the champagne. The autolysis range was lifted almost ten years ago, to allow time to refine our champagnes.
\nThis black and white cuv\u00e9e is a blend of 86 % pinot noir and 14 % chardonnay, including 12 % reserve wines. These are very fine grapes from very fine terroirs, as they must be able to withstand years of cellar ageing. The Champagne will be bottled in 2009 and bottled in 2022, which means thirteen years of ageing in the cellars.
\nThis is a powerful, opulent champagne that can be enjoyed on its own or with richly flavored dishes, such as fish in sauce or wild salmon.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Double Autolyse Champagne Le Brun de Neuville<\/b><\/a>
\n<\/span><\/h4>\n

In this double autolysis cuv\u00e9e, Chardonnay takes pride of place. The vines, with an average age of 45 years, come from the C\u00f4te de S\u00e9zanne, with perfect south-east exposure.
\nThe grapes were harvested in 2010, bottling took place in 2011, alcoholic fermentation will take place in oak barrels, and malolactic fermentation will be complete. The aim is clearly stated: to retain the authenticity of Chardonnay, with its roundness and texture.
\nWith this style of champagne, gourmet meals are de rigueur. Try delicate dishes such as scallops, or sweetbreads as a main course.<\/span><\/p>\n
