Champagne Brut
Côte Brute Œnothèque N° 04 Magnum

The Champagne Côte Brute by Le Brun de Neuville takes shape in the Côte de Sézanne, an area located south of the Côte des Blancs, where clay and chalk soils lend the wines tension, clarity, and mineral definition. This cuvée is born from the balanced union of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, sourced from 45-year-old vines facing southeast, ensuring expressive ripeness and aromatic depth. A project that reflects the cooperative’s commitment to enhancing mature and complementary parcels, offering a coherent and distinctive interpretation of the territory, marked by stylistic precision and consistent quality.

This Œnothèque N°04 Magnum edition, base harvest 2005, is enriched with 20% vin de réserve, ensuring stylistic continuity and greater aromatic layering. Vinification takes place primarily in stainless steel, with 4% aged in oak to broaden the aromatic spectrum without altering the wine’s territorial identity. Unlike the classic version, this interpretation benefits from an extraordinarily extended ageing period: over 19 years on the lees, a remarkable span of time that sculpts depth, finesse, and complexity, enhancing coherence and precision of expression in the Magnum format.

On the palate, Œnothèque N°04 Magnum displays bright golden reflections and an exceptionally fine, persistent perlage. The bouquet reveals pronounced chalky minerality intertwined with notes of dried fruit, candied citrus, and refined hints of evolved pastry. It stands out for its vibrant freshness and harmonious structure, supported by a precise, savoury texture; the finish is long, elegant, and impeccably balanced, a successful synthesis of mature evolution and mineral tension.
