Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
The chalky minerality of Bouzy's clay-limestone soils brings an acidity and tension that balances the generosity of the Pinot noir.
Roundness
Five years on laths and a dosage of 6 g/L bestow a broad, silky texture on the palate.
Power
100% Grand Cru Pinot noir expresses the full density and fleshy structure of the 2014 vintage.
Length
The finish is persistent, carried by warm spices and the candied dark fruit of Bouzy's Pinot noir.

TASTING NOTES

A golden robe with copper highlights and fine bubbles of remarkable persistence. The nose opens on ripe dark fruits — cherry, blackberry — interwoven with spiced notes and a gentle oakiness from the extended ageing. The palate is broad, fleshy and generous, underpinned by a mineral tension that carries the length through to a spiced and fruited finish of beautiful persistence.

Terroirs

Drawn exclusively from the lieux-dits « Les Patronvilles » and « Les Ronçures » in Bouzy, a Grand Cru village on the Montagne de Reims, this Blanc de Noirs rests on clay-limestone soils that lend Pinot noir its full power and ripeness. Five years of ageing on laths completes the integration of the bubbles and the aromatic complexity.

Delavenne

About this house

Champagne Delavenne Père & Fils is a family house rooted for five generations in the Grand Cru of Bouzy, on the Montagne de Reims. Guided by sustainable viticulture and exacting care in the vineyard, the Delavenne family craft champagnes that speak first and foremost of their terroir, without seeking to correct it.

The « Aura de Marius » was created to celebrate the birth of Marius, the second child of the fifth generation. The first Blanc de Noirs ever produced by the house, it is limited to just 3,048 bottles and presented in a gift box — a vinous tribute as intimate as it is collectable.

The candied dark fruit and spice of the cuvée marry with elegance the sweet-savoury nuances of duck magret with warm spices.
