Michel Dervin Brut Champagne

SKU #999425

This is an exciting and unique Champagne from a little known village called Cuchery. It is made by the man that gives the wine his name, Michel Dervin, who is also the wine maker for Domaine J. Laurens in Limoux. The wine has a wonderful brioche and subtle fruit nose. The flavors are quite concentrated and complex and it has a great toastiness as well as a lightness on its refreshing and long finish. The cuvee is a blend of 2004 and 2003 vintages. It is made out of 95% estate fruit from small plots in the villages of Cuchery, Damery, Reuil, and Chapelle Monthadon in the picturesque valley of the Marne. He buys in a little chardonnay from Pierry. The grape break down is 80% meunier and 20% pinot noir. If you have never had a valley of the Marne meunier based Champagne, this is a great place to start! -Gary Westby, K&L

The first descriptors that come to mind when sipping this wine are clean and vibrant. The wine has lots of bright acidity and the palate is light and lean. A blend of 80% Pinot Meunier and 20% Pinot Noir, the wine is composed of 95% estate fruit, so you’re getting Dervin’s own quality grapes.

To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them.

Champagne

- The French region of Champagne (comprised of the towns of Rheims, Epernay, and Ay) was the first region in the world to make sparkling wine in any quantity. Today, the name of the region is synonymous with the finest of all sparkling wines, and winemaking traditions of Champagne have become role models for sparkling wine producers, worldwide. Surprisingly, the region of Champagne is now responsible for only one bottle in 12 of all sparkling wine produced. Styles of champagne range from the basic brut (often blends of several vintages), single vintage champagnes, and rose. View our bestselling Champagne.
