Champagne

At Yapp Brothers we pride ourselves on dealing with wine makers who have an intimate knowledge of their surroundings and the viticultural methods that best suit their land and environment - a sense of terroir  or working in harmony with their vines and soil. We were therefore thrilled, some five years ago, to start working with the Dumangin family who have been growing grapes on the Montagne de Reims for five generations. Based in the pretty village of Chigny-Les-Roses, the Dumangins represent an increasingly rare species of récoltants-manipulants  – wine makers utilizing their own fruit grown in their own vineyards. 

The Dumangins enjoy particularly well-appointed Premier Cru vine holdings that are given over to Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay, all of which are hand harvested prior to fastidious vinification and blending in their own cellars. The Dumangins are highly regarded for producing clean, fruity wines of remarkable consistency, elegance and finesse.
