TASTING NOTES

The colour is a deep gold with copper highlights, a sure sign of achieved maturity. On the nose, pain d'épices, honey and ripe mirabelle plums meld together in an expressive, warming register. The palate is generous and velvety — candied mirabelle, fine and well-integrated acidity — with a long, spiced finish on dried figs.

Terroirs

Sourced from the clay-limestone terroir of Les Riceys (Côte des Bar), the only commune in France to hold three AOCs: Champagne, Rosé des Riceys and Coteaux Champenois. Here, Pinot Noir develops an aromatic richness and a structure that lend this vintage Champagne its singular character.

Christophe Dechannes

About this house

Founded in 1973 by Roland Dechannes in Les Riceys, the house carries on a family winemaking tradition rooted in the Côte des Bar since 1956. Across 9 hectares of clay-limestone soils, the domaine grows predominantly Pinot Noir in a resolutely artisanal style, as a récoltant-manipulant.

Today run by Christophe and Christine Dechannes alongside their children Roland and Laura, the domaine releases its Millésime only in truly deserving years. Every bottle is aged for a minimum of three years in the cellar before release — a rare commitment to patience at this price point.

The fine bubbles and pain d'épices aromas pair beautifully with freshly baked, still-warm gougères.

The vinous richness of the Pinot Noir and the restrained dosage are a natural match for a mi-cuit foie gras with warming spices.

The aromatic depth and long, spiced finish of this vintage Champagne make a magnificent companion to truffled poultry.
