A Family Estate Deeply Rooted in Terroir

Champagne J.M. Labruyère is the story of a family's passion for excellence. Founded in 2012, this estate spans seven hectares in the prestigious village of Verzenay, one of the rare few classified as a Grand Cru in Champagne. Here, the terroir expresses itself through a perfect balance of Pinot Noir (70%) and Chardonnay (30%). Each plot is meticulously tended to preserve the richness and complexity of these unique chalky soils.

Meticulous Winemaking in the Pursuit of Perfection

In the vaulted cellars dating back to the 18th century, where time seems to stand still, each wine is aged with absolute precision. Under the guidance of Nadine Gublin and Vincent Van Waesberghe, the estate adopts a plot-by-plot approach that allows each cuvée to fully express its terroir. Fermentation in oak barrels, combined with extended aging on fine lees, imparts exceptional depth and complexity. The decision to avoid malolactic fermentation preserves the wines’ freshness and tension, ensuring remarkable longevity.

A Signature Cuvée: Prologue

The house’s first cuvée, Prologue, is a brilliant showcase of its expertise. This Grand Cru Extra Brut, crafted primarily from the 2018 harvest and complemented by reserve wines from previous years, is a blend of 69% Pinot Noir and 31% Chardonnay. Partial barrel aging lends a silky texture and a complex aromatic profile. On the nose, aromas of white fruits, brioche, and anise unfold, leading to a generous palate with a precise, chiseled finish.

A Commitment to Excellence and Sustainability

Beyond crafting exceptional wines, J.M. Labruyère is dedicated to sustainable viticulture. Every intervention in the vineyard is guided by a deep respect for the soil and biodiversity. Quality is never compromised, and each bottle is the result of rigorous craftsmanship and an unwavering passion for the Champagne terroir.

Rising International Recognition

Thanks to this relentless pursuit of excellence, J.M. Labruyère champagnes are now featured on the menus of top restaurants and sought after by fine wine enthusiasts. The elegance and depth of each cuvée are a testament to a unique savoir-faire, where family heritage meets a forward-looking vision.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What are the differences between Labruyère Ellipse and Paradoxe 2016?

Ellipse is a non-vintage Champagne combining Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Paradoxe 2016 is a Blanc de Noirs made exclusively from Pinot Noir. Both are classified as Grand Cru and dosed Brut Nature.

Which Labruyère cuvées should you compare to discover Extra Brut and Brut Nature?

Prologue and Ellipse make a relevant pairing: both are non-vintage and combine Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Prologue is dosed Extra Brut, while Ellipse is Brut Nature. Since their grape proportions are not specified, this comparison does not make it possible to isolate the effect of dosage alone.

Why is Paradoxe a white Champagne despite its Blanc de Noirs designation?

The term Blanc de Noirs refers here to a white Champagne made from Pinot Noir. Paradoxe 2016 is therefore the only one of the three Labruyère cuvées presented that does not combine this grape with Chardonnay.

Which Labruyère cuvée should you choose if you are looking for a specific year?

Paradoxe is the only cuvée in this selection to bear a vintage: 2016. Prologue and Ellipse are non-vintage, so they do not allow you to choose a specific stated year.

Do these three Labruyère cuvées represent different Champagne subregions?

No, Prologue, Paradoxe, and Ellipse are all associated with the Montagne de Reims, in the Champagne region, and carry the Grand Cru classification. The stated differences that can help you choose between them mainly concern the grape varieties, dosage, and whether or not they are vintage.
