Brocard Pierre Champagne Extra Brut Contree Noire 2018

$10499

Grower Champagne from the Cote des Bar, the wild south of the region that's been quietly stealing the spotlight. Thibaud Brocard, fifth generation, refocused the family house on single-vineyard, single-vintage, single-grape bottlings, and this is Pinot Noir at its most transparent: a Blanc de Noirs (a white wine from a red grape) off one organically farmed plot planted back in 1962. Nearly five years on the lees give it depth, and a low-dosage Extra Brut finish keeps it taut and dry. It's savory, mineral, and serious without a trace of stuffiness. If you think you know Champagne, the Cote des Bar will happily change your mind.

More about

With 900 years of viticulture and 90 years of Champagne-making, Brocard Pierre is new only to us here in the US. Young gun, Thibaud took over in 2012 after a stage in Burgundy, turning their focus to single vintage/vineyard/varietal Champagnes. His obsession with the various types of limestone (Oxfordian, Kimmeridgian and Portlandian) is palpable in the glass.

Like neighbor Bertrand Gautherot from Vouette et Sorbée, he is a steward of his soils, eschewing chemicals and farming for the next generation. Grapes are spontaneously fermented using mostly stainless steel to highlight the terroir and nitrogen to avoid sulphur additions wherever possible. The results are fantastic, alive, clean, taut wines that happen to have bubbles.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast chicken, seared scallops, or a wedge of aged Comte. Great with anything you'd want a still white for.

Tasting Profile

Dry, Extra Brut sparkling. Red apple, citrus, brioche, and chalky minerality. Focused, savory, and long.
