ABOUT THIS WINE
The R Dumont Blanc de Noirs Millésime 2009 is a vintage Champagne from the Côte des Bar in Champagne, France, produced by the family-run estate R. Dumont & Fils. It is made exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes, a characteristic of 'Blanc de Noirs' wines. The estate has a history of vine cultivation spanning over two centuries and is situated in a region known for its Kimmeridgian soil, which favors Pinot Noir. This particular vintage wine is crafted from three distinct vineyard parcels: Moulin A Vent, En Ville, and Cote Roi. A notable aspect of this wine's production is its extended aging period on lees, contributing to its complexity.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The R Dumont Blanc de Noirs Millésime 2009 is produced using grapes from three specific parcels, with each lot fermented individually in stainless-steel tanks. Following fermentation, the wines remain 'sur lie' for six months. The wine was bottled in May 2010 and subsequently aged on its lees in the bottle for over nine years, with disgorgement occurring in October 2019. A notable aspect of the production is the complete absence of added sulfur dioxide throughout the entire process. The estate holds Terra Vitis certification and is in the process of organic conversion.
