Gaspard Brochet

After starting his career in graphic design, Gaspard Brochet returned to Champagne in 2013 to take over his family’s vineyards in Écueil. He launched his own label in 2017 and began bottling the full 3.2 ha estate under his name by 2019, with the historic family name Domaine Les Croix to appear on labels from 2024.

In the vineyard, Gaspard follows a minimal-intervention philosophy: no herbicides or fertilizers, winter ploughing, and homemade composts to foster soil health. His plots in Écueil, Sacy, and Villers-aux-Nœuds are farmed with care to reflect their terroir honestly and precisely.

His winemaking is gravity-fed, low-intervention, and focused on single-vineyard, single-varietal expressions. Wines are aged in a mix of barrels, stirred manually, and hand-riddled after long lees aging. The 2024 release features new cuvées blended from his top parcels, crafted in very limited quantities due to vintage challenges.
