Dumangin Champagne 1er Cru 750ml
Sourced from Chigny-les-Roses village, near Reims, using 1er Cru fruit.
Regarded by many, including Australia's very own and highly esteemed Tyson Stelzer, as being one of the absolute value buys from Champagne, this classic aperitif style wine is everything that your mass-market house Champagne's are not. Pristine, clean and pure, the near-extra brut style stands head and shoulders above anything at a similar price point. A blend of Pinot Noir fruit, the lemon blossom, nectar and grapefruit zest underpin a beautifully fragrant and floral house style. Their is opulence, but more in its length and laser like precision. Skillfully blended, using a minimum of 25 year old vines.

ABOUT CHAMPAGNE J. DUMANGIN FILS
1890s A star is born! Champagne Dumangin was created by Hippolyte Dumangin. Jacky Dumangin, 3 generations later, perfected the characteristically feminine Premier Cru champagne range. His son, Gilles Dumangin, 5th generation of successful winemakers, "upped" the range by introducing the several high-class champagnes that helped position his top of the range wines. And his originality has been to maintain the tradition of distilling his wines and marcs himself and he is one of 2 houses of champagne still doing it.
