ABOUT THIS WINE
The Delavenne Grand Cru Brut Millésimé 2015 is the flagship cuvée from Delavenne Père & Fils, a family-owned estate founded in 1920. This Champagne is produced exclusively in exceptional years from the family's own Grand Cru vineyards located in Bouzy and Cramant. As a 'Récoltant-Manipulant,' the estate controls the entire process from grape to bottle, ensuring a wine that reflects their heritage and the specific character of their terroir. The 2015 vintage is characterized by its pale color with golden hues, freshness, complexity, flavor, and minerality.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Delavenne Grand Cru Brut Millésimé 2015 is vinified with a focus on preserving the natural character of the grapes. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks using wild yeast, and malolactic fermentation is intentionally avoided. The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks before spending a minimum of three years in natural chalk cellars, with vintage cuvées receiving extended aging. The producer employs sustainable and responsible viticultural practices, aiming for organic certification.
