Crafted through a meticulous blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, it appears in the glass with a bright straw yellow colour and a fine perlage. On the nose, it reveals clear floral aromas accompanied by refined pastry notes. On the palate, it is dry, fresh and persistent, displaying a clear balance between acidic tension and natural gustatory complexity.
Where it comes from
This wine is produced in France, in the heart of the Champagne region. It is signed by the De Venoge maison, a historic house founded in 1837 and deeply connected to the local winemaking culture.

Thanks to its significant structure, it boasts an interesting ageing potential, allowing for optimal evolution in the bottle from five to ten years.
How it is produced
The production follows the strict rules of the Traditional Method, based on secondary fermentation in the bottle. The vinification harmoniously combines Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier in a blend. To best appreciate the persistence on the palate and the integrity of the aromatic profile, it is recommended to enjoy the Champagne at an ideal serving temperature between 6 and 8°C.

Joseph de Venoge, Henri-Marc’s son and successor, was the true builder and ambassador of the brand. He and his son introduced De Venoge to the United States in the late 1830s and it gained renown in Philadelphia, New York and New Orleans. Joseph created the first "cuvées spéciales" which were to become independent brands that increased the depth of the maison’s already rich portfolio. Cordon Bleu was created in 1851, the Vin des Princes in 1858 and others in the years that followed. Joseph’s successors reaped the fruit of his labor in the U.S. market when de Venoge won the Grand prize at the Philadelphia Universal Exposition in 1876. By 1900, the annual production of de Venoge was surpassing a million bottles.
Today, the Maison is no longer family run, but de Venoge continues to craft wines with the very same passion and dedication to quality that drove three centuries of innovators to create and build one of the finest brands in Champagne. Read more
