About Pierre Brocard
Pierre Brocard is a family-run grower (récoltant-manipulant) Champagne house based at 10 chemin du Bruyant in Celles-sur-Ource, in the Côte des Bar of the Aube. The domaine dates from 1932, and Thibaud Brocard, the fifth generation, took it over in 2012. Its wines are largely single-varietal and single-parcel cuvées from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, made with a preference for vintage wines and long ageing, which the estate says gives toasted, brioche-like aromas. The range includes Dits-Lieux, Aube Saline, Contrée Noire, L'Égarée and Saignée de la Côte.
Who Is This For?
