Champagne Le Brun de Neuville – Champagne from Béthon
In the Côte de Sézanne, in the south of Champagne, lies the picturesque wine village of Béthon. This is home to Champagne Le Brun de Neuville, the cooperative founded in 1963 by around 170 winegrowers who cultivate the grapes for the Champagne house on just 150 hectares of vineyards. Because the conditions here are optimal for Chardonnay, this white Champagne grape variety is the most important for the Le Brun de Neuville Champagne house. Around 90% of the cultivated area is planted with it. Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir grow on the rest. Influenced by the special location, with vines growing on chalky soils of a limestone escarpment, high-quality Champagnes of various styles are produced.
Champagne Le Brun de Neuville – Enjoying Champagne
We carry three Champagne Le Brun de Neuville lines: the classic line with the Cuvées Cote Brut and Cote Blanche, the Blanc de Blanc house Champagne; the Authentique line with the Cuvées Le Chemin Empreinté (BdB) and La Croisée des Chemin, which represents a selection from the best sites; and the Autolyse Champagne, which has matured on its lees in the bottle for a full 11 years. An unparalleled pleasure. The Champagne house owes its name to Madame Le Brun, whose noble family once owned the Château de Béthon and who is a founding member of the cooperative. Even though Champagne Le Brun de Neuville does not have Grand Cru or Premier Cru sites in the Côte de Blancs, only self-grown, strictly selected grapes are used for Champagne production. The shared desire of all participating winegrowers, the skillful use of reserve wines, and the long yeast aging during traditional bottle fermentation also produce an excellent Champagne.
