Champagne: Dumangin Fils. Cuvée 17

Cuvée 17 is a classic grower’s Champagne from a small house, skilfully blended from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. It is ideal as an aperitif.
Commended in the 2011 Decanter World Wine Awards.

• Style: White Wine, Dry (Sec), Light-bodied, Sparkling
• Region: Champagne
• Producer: Gilles Dumangin
• Grape variety (Cépage): Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier
• Wine pairing - drink with: Shellfish, Oysters
• Cellarage: A wine to be drunk within a year from disgorgement and final bottling.
• Vinification: The grapes are harvested from 25-year-old vines and fermented in stainless steel and enamel vats. After the addition of a liqueur de tirage the wine then rests on its lees for twenty months undergoing a secondary fermentation before disgorging, which takes place approximately three months before the wine is ready for shipping. At this stage a final dosage (of sugar) dictates the dryness of the Champagne and the 'house' style. Rémuage (the process of moving the sediment to the neck of the bottle before disgorgement) takes place manually and on wooden stands.
• Alcohol by Volume (ABV): 12%
