Gilbert & Gaillard “Light yellow. Endearing fruity nose intermixing red fruits and white-fleshed fruits. More of the predominant fruit aromatics on the palate which is fleshy on the attack and lively mid-palate. A perfumed, fresh dry Champagne for the aperitif or parties.”

Made from 60% reserve wine with minimum 3 years aging in the cellar, Champagne Dumenil is produced from the best Premier Cru vineyards of Chigny-les-Roses & Sacy. “Jany Poret” comes from Hugues Poret (winemaker Frederique’s husband) land located in the Premier Cru village of Sacy. This wine is their best expression of the terrior of Sacy. Hugues Poret is the latest in his family to craft fine Champagne, these vineyards have been passed down from generation to generation without broken family heritage.

The family tradition has been passed on to the great-granddaughters of the founders, Mrs. Frédérique Poret-Rebeyrolle with her husband Mr. Hugues Poret.
