Brice Le Poteau

Brice Le Poteau is one of the clearest ways to explore this Bouzy house through a single place and a single grape. It is a parcel vintage Champagne from the Le Poteau lieu-dit, made entirely from Pinot Noir and presented as Brut Nature. Champagne Brice is based in Bouzy on the Grande Montagne de Reims, where the family traces its local history back to 1684. The modern house works a substantial vineyard base centred on Bouzy Grand Cru, complemented by holdings elsewhere in Champagne. Within that broader estate, the parcel wines are where the range becomes most precise. Le Poteau is 100% Pinot Noir. Current technical material records a 60% tank and 40% oak élevage, no malolactic fermentation and at least 48 months of ageing. Those details give the wine a distinctly defined production profile without requiring assumptions about another Brice cuvée. Within the house range, Le Poteau and Le Mont des Tours provide the clearest Bouzy Pinot Noir parcel references, while La Chatelaine moves the focus to Chardonnay from Ambonnay Grand Cru. That makes Le Poteau a natural choice for anyone who wants to follow Brice beyond the broader Héritage blends and into site-specific Champagne. Choose this bottle if Bouzy Pinot Noir, parcel identity and a dry Brut Nature style are the main attractions. It is a focused expression of the house’s Montagne de Reims roots and a useful step into the more terroir-led side of the Brice portfolio.
