These days he focuses on the lesser known Gippsland region

A truly sensory experience

and nuanced from the colder year of '23 this is something to get stuck into if you're an acid fiend like me

A bit like the South of France trying to emulate Jura Poulsard

Emmanuel Brochet, Champagne Les Hautes Vignes 'Le Mont Benoit' 2017 Easy You'll likeyPlace: Champagne, France Grape: Chardonnay + Meunier Vibe: Phwoar Hen's teeth territory here. Just over 3,000 bottles produced, which for Champagne is like, nothing. 50 50 Meunier + Chardy from vines planted in the '60s, this is aged in oak for 11 months then another six years on the lees in bottle. A lengthy elevage that adds to the depth and complexity of this remarkable bottling. Truly something special. ABV: 12. 5%
