Emmanuel Brochet, Champagne Les Hautes Vignes 'Le Mont Benoit' 2017 Easy and we can't wait to

and we can't wait to drink 'em with William

and nuanced from the colder year of '23 this is something to get stuck into if you're an acid fiend like me

Easy as anything and sharper than you'd expect with plenty of citrus and floral intrigue if you go looking

pulling all that classic briney influence up from the soil

Packaging unreal as per too

Emmanuel Brochet, Champagne Les Hautes Vignes 'Le Mont Benoit' 2017 Easy and we can't wait toPlace: Champagne, France Grape: Chardonnay + Meunier Vibe: Phwoar Hen's teeth territory here. Just over 3,000 bottles produced, which for Champagne is like, nothing. 50 50 Meunier + Chardy from vines planted in the '60s, this is aged in oak for 11 months then another six years on the lees in bottle. A lengthy elevage that adds to the depth and complexity of this remarkable bottling. Truly something special. ABV: 12. 5%
