Alexandre Le Brun "Tradition" Brut Champagne Magnum (1.5L)
Review Date: 11/2025
Alexandre Le Brun, a 9th generation winemaker, has created another gem of a bubbly. Due to its low dosage, minerals jump out of the glass on the nose. Newest release shows a touch of butter, stone fruits, apricot and oak spice. Main flavors are golden apple and roasted nuts, with light savory spice. Wonderfully delicious! On the palate, it comes across more fully with rich yellow fruits and bright red cherries. The fullness of the palate is balanced very well by the long finish, which has lingering acidity and minerality. The magnums represent an extremely wonderful value combined with age ability. I keep one (at least!) in the cellar at all times. I find that this bottling can be used as a wonderful apéritif before a dinner or can be served with pork, fowl and fish dishes amongst mant other foods. Alex is our smallest small-estate producer, and his wines are very limited, so don't wait. a magnum of this quality under $100.00 is not to be missed!

Notes
Now in magnum! Alexandre Le Brun is the smallest producer that we import, or even carry, from Champagne at just seven and a half acres. He only makes wine from half of the grapes he brings in, selling the rest off to négociants—his production is just one thousand cases a year total. This tiny scale allows Alex to do nearly everything himself and his hands-on approach shows through in the finished product. He only uses his own estate fruit for his Champagne, and although small, his land is diverse. He farms 22 plots in eight different villages. Among these are some of the oldest vines in Champagne, the Meunier of vignes l’etoges in Monthelon were planted in 1902, making them now 113 years old.
