Why You'll Love It
A genuinely good Demi-Sec Champagne: 60% Chardonnay gives fresh fruit and lift, while Pinot Noir adds roundness. The 32g/L dosage makes it a natural choice for madeleines, cakes or fruit desserts.
About The Producer
Champagne Delavenne Père et Fils is a fourth-generation family grower in Bouzy, one of Champagne's celebrated Grand Cru villages on the Montagne de Reims. Jean-Christophe and Maëlle Delavenne oversee the family's vineyards, harvesting, pressing and winemaking at the estate. Pinot Noir from Bouzy and Chardonnay from Grand Cru sites including Cramant give the range its combination of richness and finesse. Parcels are pressed and vinified separately, and the house avoids malolactic fermentation to preserve freshness. Patient ageing in chalk cellars adds complexity and fine bubbles. The estate follows environmentally conscious vineyard practices and is working towards organic certification.
Winemaking Information
L'Île Demi-Sec Grand Cru blends 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir from the estate's Grand Cru vineyards. Traditionally bottle-fermented and cellar-aged, it receives a Demi-Sec dosage of 32g/L. The house suggests serving well chilled, with desserts or over ice in summer.
