De Venoge, Princes Extra Brut Champagne

De Venoge "Cuvée Princes" - Champagne Extra Brut.

35% PINOT NOIR, 35% CHARDONNAY AND 30% PINOT MEURNIER

Princes Extra Brut is made mainly from Premier and Grands Crus from the Montagne de Reims fields in the heart of the Champagne district. The blend is finished with a careful selection of the highest quality grape material, in order to make an Extra Brut with the balance intact!

This champagne shows a vinous profile, where aromatic richness and freshness are at the forefront. The wine has a beautifully captivating aroma of citrus, green apples, white flowers and it is made for seafood or sushi, but it is also perfect as an aperitif.

The house de Venoge revives the mythical Champagne Princes created in 1864 by Joseph de Venoge in honor of the Orange Princes. Its elegant and famous decanter is reminiscent of the crystal flasks that European aristocrats used to decant their champagnes in at the beginning of the twentieth century.

Princes Extra Brut is mainly made from Premier and Grands Crus from the Montagne de Reims fields. The blend is finished with a careful selection of bunches of grapes from les Riceys.

Delivered in a nice gift box.
