A decade in the making, Ratafia Perpétuel 2009 à 2019 is Emmanuel Brochet’s masterful expression of time, patience, and place. Crafted from a solera-style blend of musts spanning ten vintages — from 2009 to 2019 — and fortified with fine de Champagne, this Ratafia is an extraordinary meditation on the hidden side of Champagne terroir.
Aged in oak barrels over many years, it reveals layers of complexity: dried orchard fruits, honeyed nuts, and warm spice unfurl over a supple, velvety texture. The oxidative aging brings notes of fig, quince paste, caramelized orange peel, and a whisper of tobacco and tea leaf, yet it remains beautifully lifted and vibrant thanks to Brochet’s signature finesse.
This is not just a digestif — it’s a conversation between vintages, told through the lens of one of Champagne’s most thoughtful vignerons.
The Producer
It is hard not to marvel at what Emmanuel does. He is a first-generation Champagne grower, who broke out of the farming tradition in his family in 1997. With a holding of only a tiny 2.5-hectare in the lieu-dit ‘Le Mont Benoit’ in Villers-aux-Noeuds, Emmanuel opts to cultivate his vines of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier organically and almost entirely by hand, without chemicals, in order to achieve harmony and quality. He works in the cellar with an artisanal approach - pressing his grapes in small batches with a traditional vertical press, using indigenous ambient yeasts, and adding minimal sulphites at the end of the malolactic fermentation. He makes rocking chairs to upcycle his old barrels, and distills gin as a passion project.
