Louise Brison is above all a family story. The estate has belonged to the family for 4 generations. Since 1991, their uniqueness lies in the production of vintage champagnes vinified in oak barrels. The vineyard is located on the South / South-East slopes on limestone marl from the Kimmeridgian. The wines stay a minimum of 5 years on the lies.

 

In 1910, Louise Brison eked out a living on a few acres of vines at a time when winemaking was not very lucrative. Thanks to her tenacity, the future generations were able to continue her work and the estate took on a new direction in 1977 with Francis Brulez, who began producing vintage Champagnes aged in oak barrels. His daughter Delphine Brulez carries on the family tradition, building her bridge between the past and the future.

 

The terroir of Aube is unique. It was created from a special climate with a strong influence from the plateau of Langres (dry and cold), and a soil made up of a calcareous clay bedrock of limestone marl. The soil is closer to Chablis than Reims. Delphine makes her champagnes from her family’s 14.29ha of vines, planted 70% Pinot Noir, and 30% Chardonnay. The vineyards are on a south-south-east exposure, at and average elevation of 280m (up to 320m). All vineyards are under organic viticulture since 2012 (certification is started in 2017) and there are no chemicals or pesticides / insecticides applied to allow the natural biodiversity to flourish.
