Notes:
The Les Hautes Vignes Le Mont Benoit is a new cuvée that originates from the uppermost part of the slope, where vines - planted in 1962 with massal selections - grow on exceptionally shallow soils (merely 30 centimeters of topsoil over chalk). This bottling replaces the previous Les Hauts Chardonnays and Les Hauts Meuniers.
The family of Emmanuel Brochet had already owned the vineyards for several generations, but left the work to other vintners. In 1997, Emmanuel Brochet became the first wine producer in his family. He chose organic growing practices out of a genuine appreciation for the work, to find the best balance in his wines and to give life back to the terroir. Emmanuel Brochet owns just one vineyard, so the range is naturally small. Le Mont Benoit is a substantial chalk outcropping in the plain west of Montagne de Reims, south of Reims city. This southeast-facing vineyard has exposure means that weather is more extreme. There is a difference of about 20 meters in altitude between the lower and upper parts of his holdings, with the upper part producing his vintage-dated Les Hautes Vignes, while the non-vintage Le Mont Benoit comes from the lower part. Les Hautes Vignes is aged longer sur lattes and derives from a single vintage.
