We are family

INDEPENDENT ESTATE-WINE MERCHANT, BACCHUS WINES PLDC, DIVE INTO THEIR PARTNERSHIP WITH PAUL LEBRUN CHAMPAGNE AND EXPLAIN MORE ABOUT THIS OUTSTANDING PRODUCT.

The Paul Lebrun family have been producing Champagne in the prestigious Côte des Blancs in Cramant, one of the villages classified as Grand Cru in Champagne, since 1902. Their ethos stems from traditional Champagne-making and multi-generation know-how.

Over the decades, they have adopted a progressive outlook to understand better and look after the unique terroir. The Vignier-Lebrun family grow Chardonnay grapes for their cuvees, which highlight the unique character and the rich taste of Chardonnay. It is the only grape variety grown on their chalky soils south of Épernay and on the soils rich in rolled pebbles in Sézanne, which are rare in the Champagne vineyards. These exceptional terroirs must be protected and respected to produce their outstanding Champagne.

Speaking of Paul Lebrun Champagne’s versatility, the team at Bacchus Wines PLDC highlights how this Champagne is perfect to celebrate the beginnings of spring. The Extra Brut Champagne, in particular, reminds drinkers of warmer days thanks to its yellow robe with golden glints and a flurry of delicate bubbles. What’s more, it is a not overly sweet Champagne with a lower sugar content.

Trond Rornes, Co-Founder of Bacchus Wines PLDC, says: “At present, we are just so excited to bring the fantastic champagnes by Paul Lebrun to the UK market. Our relationship with Paul Lebrun will inevitably grow, and we’re privileged to see them develop their product first-hand when we visit the estate.

“We’re working with bars and restaurants in the UK already, but we really want to share just how great Paul Lebrun Champagne is with the bar industry.”

Tasting Notes

The nose reveals elegant notes of white blossom, grapefruit and pineapple. The crisp and refined palate is full of character, with notes of freshly-cut herbs as a reminder of spring.

“I have been buying wines from Pierre-Loup DeCam (Bacchus Wines PLDC) for over twenty-two years. When I owned the Michelinstarred JSW Restaurant in Hampshire, and since retiring, I stocked my wine cellar with the joyful wines of Chateau de Parenchère. They are my go-to wines, and I always receive excellent wine and service.”
