BROCARD PIERRE CHAMPAGNE 'BULLES DE BLANC'2017

Style: Rocks & Minerals

Fifth generation vigneron Thibaud Brocards handcrafted, terroir focused wines are transparent and electrifying. His wines channel Champagnes Côte des Bar in an effortless display of youth and freshness. His family vineyards, situated near the village of Celles sur Ource in the Seine River valley, are part of a geographically, biologically, and culturally diverse region. The gastronomic vintage Champagnes, made from single-grape varieties and parcels, form the basis for Thibauds philosophy. Georges Brocard, began producing Champagne in 1932. He was followed by Emile Brocard, Henri Brocard, then Pierre Brocard, Thibauds father. 

In the cellar, he uses a blend of new and old methods to create terroir reflective wines. They are practically etched into clay and limestone Kimmeridgien soils, which impart longevity and personality to the Pinot Noir, as well as minerality and vivacity to the Pinot Blanc and Chardonnay. The traditional Coquard press ensures a slow and homogenous press to minimise colour extraction and ensure that the most delicate fruit flavours are expressed. VINIFY

The Bulles de Blanc is made of 100% Chardonnay grapes from vineyards planted on clay, calcareous soil near Celles sur Ource. Once pressed off the whole bunches, the juice was fermented in stainless steel at controlled temperature. The wine then spent 4 months in stainless steel, and it was aged on lees for at least 4 years. It has 2 grms of dosage. IMPORTER NOTES
