NV Gaspard Brochet 333.e Brut Nature

Although incorporating only 10% of the cool-weather 2021 vintage, Gaspard Brochet’s NV Brut Nature 333.e (2021 base) is incisive, racy and fresh. It delivers a bright aromatic profile of crisp pear, lemon zest and white blossoms. The palate is medium-bodied, chiseled and bright, boasting a pure fruit core supported by tangy acidity and chalky structure, culminating in saline finish. Reflecting the adversity of the growing season, this rendition comprises 90% reserve wines and was disgorged in December 2024. As ever, the cuvée is anchored in Pinot Noir from the village of Écueil and marks the final edition to be vinified entirely in stainless steel.
