WINE MAKING PROCESS
Duménil Millésimé Premier Cru Brut 2007 is produced using traditional Champagne methods. The grapes are sourced from Premier Cru vineyards in the Montagne de Reims. A key technique employed by Duménil is the extended aging of the wine on its yeast lees for over 10 years, a process that significantly contributes to the wine's complexity and texture. The wine was disgorged in July 2019 with a dosage of 5 g/L. The producer's philosophy guides their approach, focusing on preserving the natural characteristics of the terroir through patient maturation.
