Brimoncourt Champagne
Champagne from Champagne, France
SKU: NV -21-FR05003
Alcohol Volume: 12.5%
Composed of 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay, the Extra-Brut cuvée is the result of a rigorous selection of the best grapes from outstanding years, in 6 villages classified as “Grands Crus”. After 4 years spent maturing in the cellar, this 2g wine is the purest expression of the Maison Brimoncourt’s know how.
lts very light yellow robe sparkles with delicate bubbles gathering into a persistent string of pearls of great purity. Fine and intense nose with notes of citrus and white fruits. The attack is forthright, frank and full. The aromas of citrus fruits are in perfect harmony with the minerality of the wine and they go on in a splendid lingering finish.
"A generous and harmonious Extra Brut with an expansive bouquet of mirabelle and a touch of toasted brioche. In spite of almost no dosage, the lemony acidity is not a jot too sharp. Long, elegant finish. 100% from Grand Cru vineyards. Drink now." - James Suckling 93pts
For three centuries, champagne has been the synonym for fine tables, subtlety and inspired savoir-vivre. Brimoncourt is a tribute to these forever champagne values: elegance, independence, sharing and lightness.
Based in the historical heart of Champagne in the village of Aÿ, the Champagnes produced by Brimoncourt are an expression of joyous sophistication and relaxed style. Alexandre Cornot took over the Brimoncourt Champagne house in 2008 and launched its irst non-vintage Champagne onto the market in January 2014 which was the first time the name had graced a label since the 1950s. The world of champagne is full of longstanding, established brands and it can be difficult to be a newcomer but Alexandre's passion and work ethic has driven this brand forward into ever-expanding both domestically and internationally. He has worked to push the name Brimoncourt - although not totally new as it originally emerged as a small family firm created in Reims in the 19th century before being dissolved in the 1950s.
Cornot wanted to make champagnes for a contemporary lifestyle stating, “Life is short, so we should enjoy it albeit, in style.”
