Gaspard Brochet L'Abreuvoir Extra Brut, Champagne, France 2016 (disgorged 2025)

Gaspard Brochet is one of Champagne’s most exciting young grower-producers, crafting tiny-production, terroir-driven wines from his 3.2-hectare estate in Écueil. Working with old vines, organic and biodynamic farming, and extended élevage in small oak, Brochet produces deeply vinous, textured Champagnes that blur the line between great Champagne and fine white Burgundy. With highly limited quantities and a distinctly personal style, his wines have quickly become sought-after bottles for serious Champagne collectors.

“L’Abreuvoir” Extra Brut 2016, Champagne - An extraordinarily rare and sophisticated vintage Champagne from Gaspard Brochet, one of the most compelling artisan growers of his generation. The 2016 vintage reveals remarkable depth and nuance, with layers of brioche, toasted hazelnut, preserved citrus, orchard fruit, chalk, and delicate savory notes, wrapped in a seamless, beautifully textured palate and precise mineral finish. Produced in a mere 599 bottles, L’Abreuvoir belongs in the realm of true collector Champagne. An exceptionally scarce cuvée where vintage, provenance, craftsmanship, and rarity converge. This is a bottle to seek out, cellar, and share on a very special occasion.
