This premier cru is remarkably expressive and intense… a reflection of Edouard Brun’s expertise. The Cuvée is 100% Chardonnay from the Montagne de Reims and the Côte des Blancs. The vines are planted alongside Pinot Noir vines, giving them roundness, suppleness, and generous richness. With its delicate effervescence and a frank and elegant attack, it has a very subtle nose with aromas of brioche, cream, and hazelnut. On the palate, its length is remarkable… lively and seductive with lemony notes, it becomes caressing and warm before a tangy finish enlivened by a graceful minerality. It can be enjoyed as an aperitif, but it pairs perfectly with shellfish or a seafood platter… guaranteed success!

2008, a great vintage Edouard Brun
Le Champagne Vintage 2008 Edouard Brun is ideal as an aperitif, with profiteroles with foie gras... it announces a warm and sparkling evening, we toast to the start of New Year's Eve, we wish each other the best to come. The tasting continues throughout the meal. Without complex, it is perfect with poultry or sweetbreads and why not with a magnificent cheese platter (Saint-Nectaire, Comté, Mimolette Vieille, Brie, mature goat cheeses, etc.).
The 2008 Edouard Brun vintage reveals a golden color enlivened by a lively mousse. On the nose, we detect aromas of hazelnuts and almond paste followed by aromas of pear and quince on a lemony finish. On the palate, the tone is clean and persistent… lemony aromas and a great liveliness carried by a citrus side… the finish is very long, which increases the perception of the great Champagne wines. The House style is found in the tasting of this 2008 vintage… aromatic power of the Pinots and a note of liveliness with finesse of the Chardonnays.
The year 2008 was remarkable from a health perspective, the bunches were lighter and less tightly packed than usual and the harvest took place ideally... ventilated, dry and sunny during the day, cool at night, which facilitated the accumulation of sugar in the bunches.
In summary : Grapes: 50% Pinot Noir / 50% Chardonnay; fermentation: alcoholic and malolactic in barrels for pinots and in temperature-controlled vats for chardonnays; Aging: 5 to 10 years; Dosage: 6 g/l; Recommended retail price : 38 euros including tax in its gift box. Offer valid only in mainland France.
Discovering old vintage champagnes
The “Champagnothèque” Edouard Brun reflects its expertise in the production of Champagne wines. The different vintages bear the characteristics of the year shown on the label. Indeed, the vineyards and the weather are observed with precision so that at the time of the harvest, we are able to determine whether the year will be suitable for the production of a vintage. Afterwards, analyses and tastings of the juices and then the clear wines must confirm or not this decision.
The Edouard Brun vintages are generally composed of 50% Pinot Noir and 50% Chardonnay. Bottling takes place the year following the harvest and the bottles remain on their lees deep in the cellars of the House for 10, 15, 20 years, or even more. They are opened six months before being marketed… expulsion of the sediment and application of a minimal dosage of liqueur (around 3g/liter).
These champagnes are generally powerful, vinous and very olfactory… signs of great champagnes that age harmoniously. Vintage 1996 Edouard Brun is one of those explosive wines where you experience even more the pleasure of waiting (24 years of aging)... a moment of voluptuousness to share between hedonistic amateurs, connoisseurs or with distinguished guests!
In short : Grapes : 50% Pinot Noir, 50% Chardonnay; Aging : 24 years Dosage: 3g/l; Price recommended audience : 170 euros. Offer valid only in mainland France.
The Edouard Brun Champagne Library contains other exceptional vintages… 1986, 1992, 1995, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, and 2004.
