Laurent Benard Champagne Brut

Champagne, France
Chardonnay, Meunier, Pinot noir
4.5 | 2 Reviews
Making a good natural champagne without the addition of sulphite is an art. The success of the Bénard family lies in the snow-white subsoil of limestone and marl, which is still worked by horse and plough. This subsoil ensures healthy vines and grapes bursting with minerality.

About the winemaker

"I only use natural pesticides, select indigenous yeast cells for fermentation, plow the old-fashioned way with horses and reduce the use of sulfites - where possible, the use of sulfites is avoided altogether. I make several natural cuvées from six different terroirs - This assembly of meunier, pinot noir and chardonnay is one of them. This champagne matures for 4 years in our cellar dug out of chalk and receives a minimum dose (2 g / l)."

"The roots of Laurent Bénard's vineyards keep an eye on themselves. They reach so far that they come through the ceiling. Not to hide from all kinds of misery that goes into the ground. Here, without herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers. Thus a clean, sizzling, lively extra brut. Dry as the chalk and lime soil on which it thrives Salty tones, tight acidity, crisp white fruit. Dry without becoming skimpy Champagne for pointed, botox-free natural lips and sincere praise Fine, cultured, pure and honest."

Charles Bérnard's champagne house is located a little north in the champagne region. The grapes come from the Premier Cru vineyards of the village of Mareuil-sur-Aÿ. Chemindu Bois, LaMaladrille, Les BassesClefsen Les Sept Arpen to be precise. This champagne is an assembly of 66% meunier, 17% pinot noir and 17% chardonnay. The meunier is resistant to spring frosts and ripens just a little earlier than the pinot noir and de chardonnay, and provides this champagne with freshness and the exciting floral aromas. The pinot noir part provides the fruity, somewhat firmer tones and the chardonnay gives layering due to its exciting acidity and light-footed refinement.

Nogal zwaar, goed van smaak doch ik heb mijn champagne iets lichter en kietelend
