ABOUT THIS WINE
The Hervé Dubois Millésime Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs 2019 is a single-varietal Champagne made from 100% Chardonnay. It originates from the Grand Cru vineyards of Avize in the Côte des Blancs region of Champagne, France. The Hervé Dubois estate has been a family-run operation since 1920, evolving from wine transport to producing its own Champagne. A key characteristic of this wine is the deliberate omission of malolactic fermentation, a technique chosen to highlight the minerality derived from the chalky soils and the delicate nature of the Chardonnay grape.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Hervé Dubois Millésime Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs 2019 is produced using 100% Chardonnay grapes sourced from Grand Cru vineyards in Avize. A defining technique is the exclusion of malolactic fermentation, which is intended to preserve the wine's freshness and minerality. Fermentation is managed on a component-by-component basis (grape variety, fraction, cru). The wine undergoes a period of aging, with the producer emphasizing patience and precision to develop its character. Viticultural practices at the estate include integrated farming, soil cultivation, and a focus on biodiversity, reflecting a philosophy of minimal intervention.
