French Wine Crush: Emmanuel Brochet Le Mont Benoit Premier Cru Extra Brut NV

Associate Editor Andrii Stetsiuk’s French Wine Crush is the Emmanuel Brochet Le Mont Benoit Premier Cru Extra Brut NV. A standout Champagne from a small, 2.5-hectare estate just outside Reims, this bottling showcases precision, depth and an unmistakable sense of place. Andrii describes it as sharp and mineral-driven, with a vinous complexity that comes from vinification and aging before tirage. The Le Mont Benoit "La Terre de Libre" cuvée offers a remarkable balance of tension, purity and structure, making it a rare find for Champagne lovers.
