This bottle is an official Extra Brut selection. It was featured in November 2024.

Brocard Pierre’s Champagne Extra Brut Blanc de Noirs “Contrée Noire” 2015 is a captivating single-vintage expression of Pinot Noir from the Côte des Bar, Champagne’s southernmost region. This wine reflects the vintage’s ripeness and precision, with layers of black cherry, wild strawberry, and red apple interwoven with subtle notes of spice, crushed stones, and a whisper of orange zest. The texture is both creamy and taut, thanks to its fine mousse and vibrant acidity, culminating in a mineral-laced finish that lingers with remarkable clarity.

“Contrée Noire” is crafted with meticulous care, showcasing Brocard Pierre’s dedication to sustainable viticulture and authentic winemaking. The Pinot Noir is hand-harvested from old vines rooted in Kimmeridgian limestone, a terroir known for imparting depth and elegance. Fermentation is natural, followed by aging on lees to enhance complexity, and the wine is bottled with minimal dosage in the Extra Brut style, emphasizing its purity and terroir-driven character. The 2015 vintage, marked by optimal conditions, yields a wine of structure, balance, and extraordinary finesse.

This Blanc de Noirs is a sophisticated companion to a range of dishes, from seared duck breast and roasted game to earthy mushroom risotto or hard-aged cheeses. Its rich yet vibrant profile also makes it an elegant choice for celebratory moments or contemplative sipping. “Contrée Noire” 2015 is a testament to the Côte des Bar’s potential to produce world-class Champagnes with a singular sense of place.

These wines remind you that Champagne's boundaries are arbitrary, and the best bubbles can come from unexpected places.

Champagne

Champagne boasts some of the world’s greatest luxury brands with Krug, Cristal and, of course, Dom Perignon. But it’s also home to hundreds of small dynamic producers—farmers who grow their own grapes (often organically) and make (often with natural methods) tiny amounts of pure and absolutely delicious wine that reflect the individual personalities of their villages and terroirs. Toast with these wines, for sure. But also treat them like the great wines they are: taste, drink, explore!
