TASTING NOTES

A golden robe with copper highlights, heralding the richness of Pinot Noir. On the nose, gingerbread, honey and ripe mirabelle plums compose an aromatic profile of elegant precision. On the palate, freshness leads the way, carried by notes of stewed mirabelle and a lively acidity that opens onto a long, spiced finish with accents of dried fig.

The composition

About this house

The house of Dechannes Père et Fils has been rooted in Les Riceys since 1956 — the only village in France to claim three controlled appellations: Champagne, Rosé des Riceys and Coteaux Champenois. It was Roland Dechannes who, in 1973, chose to vinify his own Champagnes on this exceptional terroir.

Today, Christophe Dechannes, supported by his wife Christine and their children Roland and Laura, tends 9 hectares of vines with great care across the clay-limestone soils of the Côte des Bar. A human-scale estate where expertise passes from father to son, in absolute respect for traditional Champenois methods.
