The 2012 Le Brun-Servenay Cuvée Exhilarante is a beautifully crafted vintage Champagne that harmoniously blends 80% Chardonnay, 10% Pinot Noir, and 10% Pinot Meunier, sourced from Grand Cru vineyards in Avize, Cramant, and Oger. This traditional Champagne blend, created by the meticulous grower-producer Le Brun-Servenay, highlights the finesse and complexity of its exceptional terroir while benefiting from the structure and fruit-driven nuances brought by the addition of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.

In the glass, the wine displays a luminous golden hue with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose is richly layered, offering aromas of lemon curd, baked apple, and ripe pear, interwoven with floral hints of white blossoms and deeper notes of brioche, toasted almond, and chalky minerality. On the palate, it is full-bodied and opulent, with a creamy texture balanced by vibrant acidity. Flavors of orchard fruits and citrus are complemented by savory nuances of honey, pastry, and a whisper of spice, culminating in a long, elegant finish with a saline edge.

The 2012 vintage, renowned for its balance and intensity, provides this cuvée with concentrated fruit and a refined structure. Aged extensively on the lees and finished with a low dosage, the Cuvée Exhilarante is expressive yet poised, with the ability to age gracefully over the next 8–10 years. This Champagne pairs beautifully with dishes such as lobster, seared scallops, or roast chicken, as well as creamy risottos or soft cheeses like Brie.

The 2012 Le Brun-Servenay Cuvée Exhilarante is a masterful expression of vintage Champagne, offering richness, depth, and a seamless blend of the classic varieties. It is an excellent choice for celebrations, fine dining, or as a standout addition to any collection.

More about Le Brun Servenay

Le Brun’s winery, Le Brun Servenay, is located in some of the most precious Chardonnay terroirs in Champagne, in the chalk-rich village of Avize. This is the same village where Jacques Selosses revolutionized Champagne with techniques to produce a richer, more open-knit Champagne: barrel aging, later harvesting, malolactic fermentation, the use of soleras, etc.

Great wines, for sure, but Le Brun decided to go in another direction. He wants to produce wines of cut and chisel, as if they were etched directly out of his chalky soils. He wants freshness and verve. He wants a wine that showcases the crispy intensity of traditional Champagne.

This is not to say that Le Brun hasn’t adopted the huge improvements in quality that Selosse’s revolution brought with it. Farming is hands-on and conscientious, dosage is very low, and there is extensive aging on the lees.
