Herve Brisson Champagne Extra Brut Les Aulnes NV

Hervé Brisson conceived Les Aulnes as a return to the essentials: a Blanc de Blancs blended from selected plots and reserve wines, all Chardonnay. It's also grower Champagne at its smallest. Hervé's grandfather planted the oldest plot in 1952, and the estate covers just 3.35 hectares of chalk in the Petit Morin valley, based in the village of Vert-Toulon in the Marne. Hervé made his first harvest here in 2001, but it was twelve more years before he bought his own press and started pressing the family's grapes himself. The domaine's first release only came in 2022, so this is a chance to get in early on a new name. Brisson ages his wines in barrels and sandstone tanks. The estate came to its importer on a tip from Vincent Couche, and we're glad he passed the word along.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Gougères or warm cheese puffs; raw oysters with mignonette; sole meunière; roast chicken with tarragon cream; aged Comté; lobster rolls with brown butter.

Tasting Profile

Expect the classic Blanc de Blancs profile: lemon, green apple and white flowers over a chalky, saline minerality, with barrel and sandstone-tank ageing and reserve wines adding a little breadth and a hint of brioche. As an Extra Brut it should taste bone-dry, with fine bubbles, taut acidity and a long, clean, mineral finish.
