Champagne Dumenil Millesime 2013

The story of Champagne Duménil goes back to its foundation in 1874 and owes a great deal to a happy combination of skill in both viticulture and in wine-making that was a rarity at the end of the XIX century. As well as tending vines, Emile-Paul Duménil, the founder, also owned a grocery and a café in Chigny-Les-Roses. Little did he realise that the champagne house he created would still be prospering more than 140 years later. Tiny, elegant bubbles against a sparkling golden background. On the nose : Quince and prunes, very expressive. On the palate : Toasted hazelnuts. Silky and vinous with a distinct mineral quality on a very long finish.
