2019 Pierre Brocard Contrée Noire Pinot Noir Brut Nature is a characterful Blanc de Noirs Champagne from the Côte des Bar, crafted from 100% Pinot Noir. As a Brut Nature, it contains no dosage, resulting in a dry, precise, and terroir-driven style. Pinot Noir simultaneously imparts depth and structure with ripe fruit, delicate brioche notes, and a fresh, mineral finish.
Champagne Pierre Brocard is based in Celles-sur-Ource in the Côte des Bar, in the southern part of the Champagne region. The house is run by Thibaud Brocard, the fifth generation of his family, who has worked with a clear focus on creating Champagnes that distinctly express the character of individual grapes and vineyards.
Contrée Noire is the house's Blanc de Noirs and is made exclusively from Pinot Noir. This gives the Champagne greater vinosity, fullness, and structure than a classic Chardonnay-dominant Champagne, without losing the freshness and finesse that characterize the Pierre Brocard style.
The wine is a Brut Nature, meaning that no sugar is added via dosage after disgorgement. This highlights the pure character of the Pinot Noir grape and results in a bone-dry Champagne with great precision, minerality, and gastronomic versatility.
Contrée Noire is an exciting choice for the Champagne enthusiast seeking a more terroir-driven and personal Champagne from a small producer, rather than the classic style of the large Champagne houses.
The Côte des Bar is located in the southernmost part of the Champagne region, around the towns of Bar-sur-Seine and Bar-sur-Aube. The area is closer to Chablis than to Reims and is particularly known for Pinot Noir, which thrives excellently in the cool climate and the chalk- and marl-rich soils.
Pierre Brocard is located in Celles-sur-Ource, where Kimmeridgian marl is a significant part of the terroir. This type of soil is also associated with Chablis and helps provide the wines with a distinctive freshness and mineral character. In recent years, the Côte des Bar has gained significant attention for its small grower Champagne producers, who work with single vineyards, low dosage, and clear terroir expression.
Nose: Elegant and complex with yellow fruit, white fruits, and citrus combined with brioche, roasted nuts, and fine toasted nuances.
Palate: Dry, precise, and vinous with ripe fruit, fresh citrus, and a wonderful Pinot Noir structure. The fine bubbles and distinctive freshness balance the wine’s fullness and depth.
Finish: Long and harmonious with mineral and slightly salty nuances, ripe fruit, and an elegant touch of roasted notes.
Best served at 9-11°C in a spacious Champagne or white wine glass. Avoid using a very narrow flute if possible, as a larger glass allows the Pinot Noir fruit, brioche notes, and the wine’s mineral nuances more room to unfold.
