About

The Domaine predominantly produces Pinot Meunier in addition to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Pinot Meunier varietal is best suited to this cooler area of Champagne and is a favourite of the Marne Valley. Dehours' Champagnes are eagerly sought after by Champagne enthusiasts for their renowned "Meunier style"; bold, flavourful and showing a clear terroir-orientated approach.

The "Brut Nature" is fully aged on lees, and clarified by natural decanting, without filtration or fining. It is an experimental, 100% Pinot Meunier cuvée that uses a high proportion of reserve wine from a perpetual reserve started in 1998. But most importantly, it is made using naturally selected yeasts (from Champagne Dehours' own vineyard) for the second fermentation in bottle. This, above all else, enhances the identity of the Marne Valley terroir. - Importer Note

 

Another Note: Aged in the bottle for over 36 months. The bottling date and Disgorgement date are printed on the back labels. The Basis Year in the blend is the previous year from the bottling date.

Tasting Notes

Showing nicely, mingling aromas of honey, linden and citrus oil with subtle hints of warm pastry. Medium to full-bodied, pillowy and precise, it’s chiseled and saline, with a delicate pinpoint mousse.

Serve in large white wine glasses to allow the wine to express itself. - Importer Note
