Why You'll Love It
At least 3 years on the lees has given this Champagne a toasty quality which just makes me feel happy. The Pinot Noir (of which this wine is 60% with the balance being made up of Chardonnay) has taken on these flavours with grace and class. Baked apple, hazelnut, ripe apricot and a touch of dried fruit are supported by cream and a refined brioche note.

Serve this at every celebration deserving of Champagne and you will get a reputation for having a touch of class. Or with food, think is an obvious enhancement to smoked salmon.
About The Producer
The Delavenne family has been making Champagne in the Grand Cru village of Bouzy for four generations. Today, Jean-Christophe Delavenne oversees around 10 hectares of Grand Cru vineyards, farming sustainably with an emphasis on healthy soils, indigenous yeasts and minimal intervention in the cellar. Every plot is vinified separately before blending, allowing each vineyard to contribute its own personality to the finished wine. Their Champagnes have quietly built a devoted following among sommeliers and collectors for combining the richness of Bouzy Pinot Noir with the finesse and precision that define the very best grower Champagnes.
Winemaking Information
Original 60/40 is the signature cuvée of Champagne Delavenne, blending Pinot Noir from Bouzy with Chardonnay from neighbouring Grand Cru vineyards. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel using indigenous yeasts, with no malolactic fermentation, preserving the wine's vibrant acidity and remarkable precision. The Champagne is then aged on its lees for a minimum of three years before disgorgement, developing fine bubbles, creamy texture and layers of brioche while retaining exceptional freshness. The result is a Champagne that's both generous and beautifully focused.
