- This has spent a whopping 22 years on lees!

- For those who like aged champagne with great intensity and darker colour.

- Pair with aged parmesan

Giving some time in the decanter, the wine starts to open up showing baked bread, toasted hazelnut and a distinct Fino-Manzanilla Sherry notes going on with a definite salinity on the tongue.

Being from a warmer year, having extended time on lees and late disgorgement the development of the wine is substantial with ample flavour, volume and texture. Don't expect much in the way of acidity or mousse as this falls away as the wine gets older.

Overall, this is a wine enjoyed by those who love richer, more vinous styles of champagne. We have access to the last remaining bottles in the country. Give it a go!

The Le Brun family resides by the village of Bethon, close to the town of Sézanne in the Marne. The memory of Madame Le Brun, who owned the castle in 1845, is still alive today. The house Le Brun de Neuville inherits its name thanks to the action of the noble heiress of the Château de Bethon, Madame de Reviers, one of the founders of the House. The vineyard Le Brun de Neuville is spread over 150 hectares, of which the majority has been planted for over 30 years on the undulating slopes of the Sézannais. Its vineyard is planted predominantly in Chardonnay, which represents 88% of the total. The Pinot Noir accounts for 11% and the Meunier just 1% of the vines. The supplies of Champagne Brun de Neuville come exclusively from the vines of its members.
