Champagne Louis Brochet

Exceptional Pinot Noir Through Mass Selection

Located in the charming village of Ecueil, at the base of the Montagne de Reims, Domaine Louis Brochet has been crafting premium wines since the 19th century. For four generations, the Brochet family has nurtured their vineyards with dedication and respect for traditional Champagne methods. A unique practice initiated by Marie Arsene, the family matriarch, involved marking the best vines with a line on their trunks. Only those vines that received this mark for three consecutive years were selected for removal and grafting.

This careful mass selection has contributed to the distinctive character of Pinot Noir d’Ecueil, which accounts for three-quarters of Champagne Louis Brochet's production.

Champagne Louis Brochet: A Heritage Since 1881

In 1881, Louis Brochet took the family’s winemaking to new heights. His passion for viticulture led to the creation of the first label, “Le Champagne Louis Brochet,” marking a significant milestone in the family’s history. The estate spans 13 hectares across 50 plots in Ecueil, a Premier Cru area of Montagne de Reims, and neighboring terroirs, showcasing the region's rich diversity.

Commitment to Quality and Sustainability

The Brochet family prioritizes environmental stewardship and the preservation of their terroir. Their commitment to sustainable viticulture earned them certification in Champagne, along with high environmental value certification in 2017. This dual focus on economic viability and environmental responsibility reflects their dedication to producing high-quality artisan wines while caring for the land.
