History
The Delavenne Père et Fils company is one of the oldest and most respected Champagne producers in the Champagne-Ardenne region of France.
The history of the company begins in 1920, when Louis Delavenne, the founder, bought his first vineyard in Bouzy, in the Grand Cru region of Champagne. Over the years, the company has evolved, passing from generation to generation, up to the current owner, Jean-Pierre Delavenne.
Jean-Pierre, together with his son Adrien, continues the family tradition, dedicating themselves to the production of high quality Champagne, using traditional cultivation methods and respecting the unique terroir of the region.
Today, the Delavenne Père et Fils company owns around 9 hectares of Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards in the Bouzy region, and produces a range of high quality Champagnes, including Blanc de Blancs, Blanc de Noirs and Champagne Rosé.
Grapes used
Pinot Noir 60%
Chardonnay 40%
Production method
After harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed to extract only the best juice. The juice is then fermented in wooden and stainless steel barrels to obtain the base for the wine.
Subsequently, the wine is bottled with a small amount of sugar and yeast, which allow the creation of the characteristic effervescence of Champagne during the refermentation in the bottle.
It is then aged in the cellar for at least 24 months, acquiring the complexity and finesse of the best Champagnes.
Alcohol content
12.5%
