Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
The absence of malolactic fermentation preserves a natural acidity that supports the dosage without weighing down the bubble.
Roundness
The demi-sec dosage of 32 g/L, perfectly integrated with the substance of the dominant Pinot Noir, delivers a velvety and generous texture.
Power
Bouzy Pinot Noir brings structure and a fruity backbone without excess weight, typical of the Grand Cru terroirs of the Montagne de Reims.
Length
A minimum of four years' lees ageing imparts a silky, fruity aromatic persistence.

Terroirs

A single-cru champagne drawn exclusively from the Delavenne vines in Bouzy and Ambonnay, two 100% Grand Cru villages of the Montagne de Reims, whose clay-limestone soils over chalk give Pinot Noir its fullest expression. A blend of two carefully selected harvests.

Delavenne

About this house

Founded in 1920 in Bouzy, Champagne Delavenne is a family-owned récoltant-manipulant house now led by Jean-Christophe and Maëlle Delavenne, the fourth generation. Their vines, planted exclusively in Grand Cru terroirs, are farmed using reasoned viticulture with a firm commitment towards organic certification.

The winemaking philosophy is resolutely artisanal: spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, no fining or filtration, and no malolactic fermentation, preserving the wines' natural tension. The champagnes age on lees for a minimum of four years in cellars carved into the Champenois chalk, before being disgorged to order.

L'accord classique par excellence : la douceur dosée de L'Île enveloppe le fondant du foie gras avec une précision remarquable.

Main course

Main course

Les notes mielleuses du laqué épousent naturellement le moelleux de L'Île, tandis que le Pinot Noir dominant soutient la richesse de la viande.
