The Brut D'Autrefois by Corbon represents an excellence in the sparkling wine landscape. Produced in France, in the heart of the renowned Champagne region, this sparkling wine stands out for its elegance and refinement.

The Brut D'Autrefois is obtained through a rigorous selection process of grapes, primarily of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier varieties. This blend of varieties imparts a surprising aromatic complexity to the wine. The vinification follows the traditional methods of the region, which include second fermentation in the bottle and a long aging period on the lees, which can extend for several years.

Visually, the wine presents itself with a bright straw-yellow color, dotted with fine and persistent bubbles, hinting at the quality and elegance of the product. On the nose, the Brut D'Autrefois expresses a rich and complex bouquet, with notes of ripe fruit, honey, toasted bread, and mineral nuances.

On the palate, the wine is structured and well-balanced. The freshness of the acidity integrates perfectly with the richness of the body, resulting in a harmonious and persistent palate. Aromas of citrus, white-fleshed fruit, and slight touches of nuts blend into a long and pleasantly creamy finish.

This sparkling wine is ideal for accompanying festive moments, refined aperitifs, or delicate dishes such as seafood, sushi, and light appetizers. It is also perfect as a meditation wine, to be savored slowly to appreciate all its nuances.

The Brut D'Autrefois by Corbon is not just a wine but a sensory experience that embodies the tradition and craftsmanship of Champagne. With every sip, it offers a celebration of the terroir and winemaking techniques that make it unique.
The winery

Champagne Corbon – Winery in Champagne (Côte des Blancs, Avize)

Discover the story and wines of Champagne Corbon.

Artisanal Champagne house based in Avize (Côte des Blancs), known for Blanc de Blancs with a strong sense of terroir, low-intervention practices and extended lees aging.
Region: Champagne (Côte des Blancs, Avize)
Country: Francia
Grapes: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Meunier
Specializing in Blanc de Blancs from Avize Grand Cru Extended lees aging for the main cuvées. Artisanal approach and minimal intervention in the cellar Features a solera cuvée
Winery history
The Corbon family began acquiring vineyards in Avize as early as the 1920s; for decades they sold their grapes to négociants. After the price crisis of the 1970s, Claude Corbon turned the business into a récoltant-manipulant and began bottling their own champagnes, assembling a collection of vintage Blanc de Blancs from the 1980s. Management passed to the next generation in the 2000s, who has continued the artisanal approach and respect for the terroir.
Production philosophy
Artisanal production with limited cellar intervention: winemaking practices aimed at preserving the expression of the grape variety and the soil, extended aging on the lees, and occasional use of continuous blending for some reserve cuvées.
Terroir and vineyards
Based in Avize, a Grand Cru of the Côte des Blancs, on calcareous-marly soils rich in chalk that promote finesse and minerality, with vineyards also in some communes of the Marne Valley. The official website lists parcels dedicated to Chardonnay, Meunier and Pinot Noir, with indicative surface areas for each vineyard.
