Origin Boisson Spiritueuse Marc de Champagne 500ml

Wine Description for Origin Boisson Spiritueuse Marc de Champagne 500ml by Emmanuel Brochet

Character

An uncompromising, powerful pomace brandy with a striking 50.0% ABV, reflecting the authentic soul of Champagne in a highly concentrated form. This spirit impresses with a remarkable, pure dynamism on the palate, unfiltered expressiveness, and a fascinating, honest complexity that stands far apart from the industrial mainstream.

Terroir & Origin

The grapes originate exclusively from the unassuming village of Villers-aux-Nœuds in the Petite Montagne de Reims. Here, Emmanuel Brochet cultivates a single 2.5-hectare Premier Cru parcel called Le Mont Benoît. The slope is defined by a complex soil structure of chalk, clay, and silt, which imparts a distinctive, terroir-driven identity to the wines and spirits of this isolated topography.

Grape Variety & Vinification

The base consists of the pressed skins of the three regional grape varieties Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, which grow side by side in the parcel. As a self-taught winemaker, Emmanuel Brochet works strictly biodynamically and with an extreme philosophy of manual craftsmanship. The pomace reflects his radical approach: ageing in used barriques and abstaining from filtration and artificial cosmetics ensure a natural, artisanal distillate of great substance.

Food Pairings

This rich Marc de Champagne serves brilliantly as a classic digestif following an opulent meal. It pairs magnificently with mature Munster cheese, robust Époisses, or dark fine chocolate. Likewise, it elevates poached pears with Roquefort or pairs beautifully with fine cigars during quiet moments of indulgence.
