A remarkable expression of place. Whereas most champagnes are blends of multiple vineyards and villages this prestige cuvee is sourced from one outstanding vineyard in the premier cru of Chigny-les-Roses. Planted back in 1969 'Les Pecherines' with it's unique aspect, elevation and sub-soil is the jewel in Dumenil's crown. Due to the old, low-yielding vines the fruit produced exudes incredible aromatic richness on the nose overlaying a structured, complex palate. Due to the underlying seam of pure chalk the blend is predominantly Chardonnay (80%) with 20% Pinot Noir giving backbone and depth.  On the nose exotic fruits, toast, vanilla bean and brioche notes which follow on to a full generous palate with refreshing mineral acidity on the finish.

The base wine is the excellent 2012 with reserves. 8g/l dosage
