Tasting Notes
This has a nice, fresh nose, full of bright lime and lemon zest scents, a sweet curl of apple concentrate, some grassy herbs, and a little yeasty, oxidative notes. Nicely complex and very pleasing. The palate showed more of those oxidative tones, with lots of browned apple flavours on the attack, but while clearly developed, it also had a bright, juicy feel to it, with the appley flavours taking on a more citrussy tone of fleshy lemons on the midpalate, before drifting into a nice tail of yeast and mineral and a little spice.

The Producer
R. Dumont et Fils
The vineyards on the slopes of Champignol rise to 370 meters, making them the highest vineyards in Champagne. The soils are an extension of the geological composition found in Chablis, specifically the chalky clay of the kimmeridgian variety. The Dumont vineyard predominantly features 90% Pinot Noir, boasting nearly 50 different clones, and 10% Chardonnay. Bernard Dumont's remarks about the shared terroir are both insightful and amusing. They cultivate grapes in the same soils as the vine growers in the Chablis region. In Chablis, white wine is crafted from white grapes, while R. Dumont et Fils produces white wine from red grapes. All production adheres to organic and sustainable practices.
