2019 Pierre Brocard Aube Saline Chardonnay Brut Nature is an elegant and mineral-driven Blanc de Blancs Champagne from the Côte des Bar, made from 100% Chardonnay. As a Brut Nature, it is bone-dry, pure, and precise, featuring citrus, green apples, white flowers, and delicate brioche notes. The name Aube Saline perfectly suits the wine's characteristic mineral and slightly salty finish.
Champagne Pierre Brocard is based in Celles-sur-Ource in the Côte des Bar in the southern part of Champagne. The house is run by Thibaud Brocard, the fifth generation of the family, and is known for a terroir-driven approach where the character of individual grapes and vineyards is allowed to stand out clearly.
Aube Saline is the house's Chardonnay-based Champagne, made from 100% Chardonnay. It is, therefore, a Blanc de Blancs, focusing on freshness, finesse, and minerality. The Chardonnay gives the wine a more upright and citrus-toned profile with great tension and precision.
The Champagne is Brut Nature, which means that no sugar is added through dosage after disgorgement. This results in a very dry style where the freshness of the Chardonnay grape and the chalky terroir shine through purely. The result is a Champagne with energy and nerve, but also with the depth and complexity that makes it highly suitable for food pairing.
The 2019 Aube Saline is an obvious choice for the Champagne enthusiast seeking a dry and terroir-driven grower Champagne with a distinct personality and a striking mineral expression.
The Côte des Bar is located in the southernmost part of Champagne and differs geographically from the better-known areas around Reims and Épernay. Pierre Brocard is based in Celles-sur-Ource, where the vineyards are situated in a landscape characterized by chalk, marl, and the characteristic Kimmeridgian soil.
The Kimmeridgian soil is also known from Chablis, which is geographically relatively close to the Côte des Bar. The combination of chalk, marl, and fossil deposits helps create wines with great freshness, tension, and the mineral character that is expressed particularly clearly in Chardonnay.
Today, the Côte des Bar is also known for a number of smaller grower Champagne producers who focus on terroir, individual grape varieties, and low or zero dosage. Aube Saline is a fine example of this more precise and vinous style.
Nose: Fresh and elegant with lemon, green apples, white peach, and white flowers accompanied by delicate notes of brioche, chalk, and lightly toasted nuts.
Palate: Upright, dry, and energetic with citrus, crisp apple, and stone fruit. The fine bubbles are combined with a vibrant acidity and a clear mineral character that gives the wine great precision.
Finish: Long, fresh, and focused with citrus, chalky mineral tones, and a characteristic slightly salty nuance that lingers beautifully on the finish.
Best served at 8-10°C in a spacious champagne glass or a smaller white wine glass. A slightly wider glass than the traditional flute allows the Chardonnay's citrus, floral nuances, and minerality more room to develop.
