Champagne Esterlin Brut Eclat NV

Champagne Esterlin is a name synonymous with elegance and tradition in the world of sparkling wines. Located in Épernay, on the famous Avenue de Champagne, the house Esterlin is a well-established wine cooperative whose adventure began in February 1947 when three winegrowers, Fransoret, Dehu, and Cadestin, decided to join forces to produce Champagne.

Initially, there were 29 members on a total surface of 23 hectares. The cooperative has grown considerably and developed on the famous Coteaux du Sezannais and Vallée de la Marne in southern Epernay. 70 years later, The Esterlin house covers 116 hectares over 52 villages and relies on 200 winegrowers who give their best to cultivate and harvest quality grapes over the vineyards. 

The Esterlin House embodies Champagne excellence through production methods that respect the terroir and traditional techniques. For several years, Champagne Esterlin has been involved in strict environmental protection. 8,4 hectares are organic or in conversion to organic, and nearly 50% of the surfaces are certified HVE “High-Value Environmental” and VDC “Sustainable Viticulture in Champagne.” 

Esterlin’s philosophy is based on a rigorous selection of grapes. Esterlin Brut Eclat NV is a blend of iconic and prestigious grape varieties: 30% Chardonnay, 10% Pinot Noir, and 60% Pinot Meunier. It is made without Malolactic fermentation to preserve the freshness and complexity of aromas. 

Brut Eclat NV has a pale yellow color and a fine and persistent effervescence. The bouquet is fresh and expressive, dominated by aromas of green apple, pear, and apricot, accompanied by notes of lemons and minerals. On the palate, it is balanced and harmonious, offering a pleasant liveliness. The finish is crisp and refreshing, with good length on the palate.
