2011 Le Brun-Servenay Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes Brut Millesime, Champagne, France

The 2011 Le Brun-Servenay Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes Brut Millésimé is a distinctive vintage Champagne from the family-run Le Brun-Servenay estate in the Côte des Blancs, crafted from very old Grand Cru Chardonnay vines that bring depth and mineral intensity. After extended aging on the lees, it shows complex aromas of golden apple, pear, citrus zest and brioche layered with chalky minerality, toasted almond and subtle smoky notes. The palate is precise and elegant, with fine, persistent mousse, vibrant acidity and a long, saline-tinged finish that balances freshness with mature richness. It pairs beautifully with oysters and shellfish, refined seafood dishes, creamy starters or aged cheeses, making it both celebratory and deeply food-worthy.
