Why You'll Love It
A special vintage Champagne from selected Grand Cru parcels. The 2018 has the concentration of a warm year, but also Delavenne's trademark freshness, purity and fine texture. Excellent with lobster, oysters or a celebratory meal.
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
Reflet Millésime Brut Grand Cru 2018 is a vintage Champagne from selected Delavenne Grand Cru vineyards, made predominantly from Chardonnay with Pinot Noir. Stainless-steel fermentation with native yeasts and no malolactic fermentation is followed by traditional bottle fermentation and at least four years' cellar ageing. Current UK listings give a blend around 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir and approximately 6.6g/L dosage; other international listings differ, so the exact percentages and dosage should be checked against the specific bottle or producer technical sheet.
