Gault&Millau's review 2025

While the name may suggest a departure into the dark lands of Sauron (fans of "Lord of the Rings" will understand), it's rather a sunny exploration of Pinot Noir that this cuvée invites us to embark upon. Ripe aromas of yellow-fleshed fruit, lime blossom and fresh nuts contribute to this warm, sunny sensation. A hint of smoke and iodine add to the mysterious bouquet. Far from being weighed down by this ripeness, the palate is structured by dynamic bubbles and a fresh frame that gives a salty, very salivating side. An energetic finish of salivating bitters is refreshing with notes of eucalyptus.

Pierre Brocard

Thibaud Brocard is the fifth generation to bottle champagnes from this house. He took over the family estate in 2012 and, from the outset, opted for sustainable, responsible viticulture. The estate will be certified organic in 2023. Based in Celles-sur-Ource, in the Côte des Bar region, Thibaud benefits from beautiful terroirs such as Kimmeridgian marls. To elaborate his cuvées, he favors vintages with a long ageing period on laths, with a single grape variety, on a single hillside.
