Reviewed December 2020Fermented and aged in wood, this Champagne is still young but is showing fine potential. The wine's acidity gives it a crisp texture and brings out the citrus and green-apple flavors along with the nervy edge. It will certainly age, so wait to drink until 2022. (RV)

When I visited the Aube last May, the star of the show for me was this 2014 Louise Brison Brut Champagne. Composed of half each Chardonnay and Pinot Noir and dosed at 3 grams per liter, it comes across as perfectly balanced, dry style Champagne. This vintage, which had a cool, long, even growing season, is an endangered species in a warming region. The Chardonnay minerality of the Aube is strong in this wine, with clean earth like the best of Chablis. It also has a great Rainier cherry component and subtle sourdough toast aromas. This is lovely, lively, long finishing Champagne that tastes great now, but will age effortlessly for decades.

Biodynamic. Organic. Vintage. Barrel fermented. Champagne. For $35. We are letting you rob us. The 2014 vintage was the type of year that has become increasingly rare in Champagne - a long cool even growing season that allowed ripeness and acidity to naturally develop in tandem. Full bodied, creamy, clean, fresh style, with excellent toasty aromas, citrus, green apple, red cherry, with a long dry finish. An outstanding bottle of vintage champagne at an outstanding price!

While Champagnes are in different styles and appeal to different palates, I've found this Louise Brison Brut to be something that everyone can enjoy so far. The nose is rich and slightly lees-y, with generous fruit and the palate is clean and crisp with a delicious driving acidity and minerality that make this an absolutely incredible value. I'm astounded again and again at the quality of wines that we have here at K&L and the affordability of them. Do yourself a favor and grab a bottle of this, or better yet a case!
Notes
This Champagne was made in the most expensive way possible. The entire Brison estate is organic, and the wine is entirely barrel fermented. No detail is forgotten in making the vintage wines here, as the owner, Delphine Brulez, has a diploma in oenology. Only because of a direct buy are we able to offer a Champagne like this at such a fair price! -Gary Westby, K&L Champagne Buyer
