Its Quality
Labruyere has Champagne’s highest classification , grand cru. It comes from premium grapes grown on a single estate in Verzenay, one of the best grand cru villages in the Montagne de Reims. Three-quarters Pinot Noir gives it body and depth, a quarter chardonnay a toasty crispness. The grapes are so good that it can be bottled as Extra Brut with a minimal dosage, only 1.6 grams per liter
France’s Guide Hachette judges wines blind. They rated Labruyere's first release here better than they did Dom Perignon."Judges appreciated its golden color, its effervescence, lively and creamy at the same time, and even more its entrancing nose; seductive, intense, vinous, and buttery with nuances of fruit confiture. Finally, its palate is dense and fleshy, expressing ripe and dried fruits, given length by a beautiful saline acidity. A superb champagne to accompany a meal."
Proprietor Eduard Labruyere owns a highly regarded estate in Moulin-a-Vent, Pomerol's Ch. Rouget, and is the managing partner of Meursault's venerable Jacques Prieur estate. Hachette had named him its Winemaker of the Year in 2018 because of the outstanding quality of Champagne J-M Labruyere.
Native Champenoise Nadine Gublin , the winemaker at Jacques Prieur, makes the wine. Her technique is impeccable. Late harvesting and limiting yields make for riper grapes to give the wine more richness and depth. Only the better-quality first-run juice is used. About five years on the lees, more than twice most major brands, add dimension. Its fine quality requires only a minimal addition of sugar. Extra Brut, it can better reveal both grape and vineyard.
A beautifully elegant label and unique bottle show the champagne's quality.
