2023 Gaspard Brochet La Pie Tome VI: Cult Pinot Meunier Precision

The 2023 Gaspard Brochet La Pie Tome VI Champagne 750ml showcases the vibrant fruit purity, spiced floral perfume, and saline tension of pure Pinot Meunier. In particular, this micro-cuvée originates from old vines in the parcel of La Pie in Villers-aux-Nœuds on clay and chalk soils. In addition, Gaspard Brochet vinifies natively in seasoned oak casks with minimal sulfur and low dosage, capturing intense vinous power, citrus tension, and chalky drive.

Tasting Notes for 2023 Gaspard Brochet La Pie Tome VI

The wine opens with a pure, high-toned bouquet of white orchard peach, Meyer lemon, acacia blossom, and crushed wet chalk. Furthermore, subtle nuances of toasted hazelnut, lemon verbena, beeswax, and delicate woodsmoke reveal themselves gracefully with air. On the palate, concentrated citrus fruit cuts across the tongue with laser-like focus, underpinned by mouthwatering mineral acidity. Consequently, the finish lingers with mouthwatering saline tension, botanical lift, and regal poise.
