About this bottle
Millésime (pronounced mee-lay-ZEEM) is a vintage Champagne from the Duménil house in Chigny-les-Roses (pronounced shee-nyee lay rohz), designed for food. We confirm the vintage when you order.
It is golden in colour with very fine bubbles. On the nose, quince, plum, gingerbread, caramel, walnuts and hazelnuts. On the palate it is silky, vinous and fruity, and the long finish is a reminder of elegant Chardonnay.
The blend is 60% Chardonnay and 20% each of Pinot Noir and Meunier. The wine spends at least seven years on the lees and can go on ageing in the cellar for a long time.
With foie gras, red meat and game, and if any is left for dessert, with pear tart. A good gift for someone who likes mature Champagnes.
About the houseA small family estate on the northern slope of the Montagne de Reims, which has made and sold its own Champagne since 1874. Today it is run by Frédérique Poret, the fifth generation, and its hallmarks are a perpetual reserve started in 1996 and old vintages kept in the family's œnothèque.History, people and stories: Duménil
