A sunny vintage full of richness and depth.

The 2005 vintage was marked by warmth and ripeness throughout Champagne. With healthy, concentrated grapes, especially on well-exposed slopes, Louise Brison chose to bottle it as a 100% vintage cuvée, offering a full-bodied and expressive profile.

Made from equal parts Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, this wine comes from 320 m elevation clay-limestone slopes in Noé-les-Mallets, facing south/southeast. The terroir, dominated by Kimmeridgian limestone, brings a vibrant freshness that balances the richness of the vintage.

Fermented and aged for 8 months in oak barrels, without full malolactic fermentation, the wine was then aged for many years on lees and disgorged without dosage.

The result is a generous and mellow champagne, with flavors of quince, apricot, and candied pineapple, a broad mouthfeel, and a warm, savory finish. A full and textured interpretation of a great vintage.
