Hervieux Dumez 2015 Special Club Brut Champagne

This is a blend of 50% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir and 20% Pinot Meunier from the excellent 2015 vintage. The nose has a presence to it with a rich yeast, stone fruits and a bit of cream. The palate is present and rich with good acid to balance its 7 grams of RS. The flavors here are a nice balance of yeast & stone fruits. D&M Tasting Notes

Since 1971, a select group of small, family-owned producers in Champagne have made wines with the utmost standards of quality. Beginning with 12 families with deep histories of winemaking in the region, the group set out to showcase terroir by presenting wines that were made from the grower’s own fruit, as opposed to large production blends sourced throughout the region, like the traditional Champagne houses.

This prestigious group now encompasses 26 grower-producers from throughout Champagne. Beyond the requirement of only making wine in the producer’s own cellar with estate fruit, stringent blind tasting panels must be passed in order to bottle as Special Club. Importer Notes
