Champagne J.M. Labruyère, Prologue NV White

Champagne J.M. Labruyère Prologue NV is a Grand Cru Champagne that brings together the depth of Pinot Noir and the finesse of Chardonnay from one of Champagne’s most prestigious villages, Verzenay. Built on the Labruyère family’s long heritage in Burgundy and Beaujolais, it reflects both tradition and a modern commitment to exceptional terroir, with extended lees aging for added complexity and texture.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows the refined, luminous character you’d expect from a Grand Cru Champagne, with a fine mousse and elegant brightness. The nose is expressive yet restrained, offering layered notes of ripe orchard fruit, citrus, white flowers, brioche, and subtle nutty tones from time on lees. On the palate, the wine is precise and well-balanced, with Pinot Noir providing structure and depth while Chardonnay adds freshness and lift. The extended aging gives it a creamy, seamless texture and a savoury finish that lingers. It has the concentration and balance to develop further over time, though it is already drinking beautifully now.

Production
Made from 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay, all sourced from Grand Cru vineyards in Verzenay, this cuvée is shaped by one of the most esteemed terroirs in Champagne. The vineyards benefit from the cool climate and chalk-rich soils that help preserve acidity while building tension and mineral drive. The wine undergoes extended lees aging at twice the minimum required by the appellation, contributing complexity, richness, and a fine, polished mousse.

Food & Serving
This Champagne works beautifully with oysters, caviar, scallops, sashimi, roast chicken, or dishes with cream and mushrooms. Serve chilled at 8–10°C to show its freshness and detail. Decanting is not necessary, though a few minutes in the glass can help it खुल fully and reveal more of its layered aromas.

Producer
The Labruyère family’s wine story dates back to 1850 in Beaujolais, where they are based in Romanèche-Thorins at the Moulin-à-Vent estate. In 2012, they expanded into Champagne by acquiring Grand Cru vineyards in Verzenay, bringing their experience and quality focus to one of France’s most prestigious regions. Their Champagne project has already gained strong recognition, including a 92-point review from James Suckling, highlighting the promise and precision of the house style.
