Product details
Marc Hébrart's Cuvée de Réserve Brut Premier Cru NV is a distinguished Champagne that exemplifies the artistry and dedication of the Hébrart family. Founded in 1963 by Marc Hébrart, the estate is now expertly managed by his son, Jean-Paul Hébrart, who continues to uphold the family's commitment to excellence. Located in the heart of the Vallée de la Marne, the estate meticulously cultivates 15 hectares of Premier and Grand Cru vineyards across 68 parcels in renowned villages such as Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, Aÿ, and Chouilly. This particular cuvée is a harmonious blend of 82% Pinot Noir and 18% Chardonnay, sourced from Premier Cru vineyards, reflecting the unique terroir of the region.
On the nose, this Champagne reveals fragrant overtones of apple blossoms, anise, and ginger, leading to a palate brimming with flavors of nectarine, blood orange granita, and salted Marcona almond. The wine's fine, raw silk–like texture is both harmonious and lightly mouthwatering, culminating in a minerally finish that lingers gracefully. Wine Spectator awarded this cuvée 92 points, noting its balance and appealing character. For an exquisite culinary experience, pair this Champagne with dishes such as roasted poultry, grilled fish, or mushroom-based recipes, where its vibrant acidity and complex flavors can complement and elevate the meal.
