De Venoge CORDON BLEU Brut Tradition Non Vintage Champagne- 37.5cl Half Bottles

What makes De Venoge's non-vintage champagne so special is the meticulous care with which it is made. It is a judicious blend of the three champagne grape varieties: 45% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay and 25% Pinot Meunier. The wines in the blend are made solely from the first pressing which yields the best quality juice. Its bouquet displays scents of flowers, slowly evolving towards more buttery, buiscuity aromas. This is a well-balanced wine that is best drunk as an aperitif or with uncomplicated first courses. Cordon Bleu Brut can be drunk straight after purchase when it will be light and well-balanced, fresh and lively without any excessive acidity. Some champagne lovers prefer to cellar it for up to 18 months when it will reveal different aromas. The range of flavours will increase. (3 x 1.5 Litres)

De Venoge CORDON BLEU Brut Rose Non Vintage Champagne from France, Champagne by De Venoge (6 x 75 cl)

This cuvée was created in 1864 as a light rosé with an unusually fine froth. It was christened "Crémant rosé", another innovation in Champagne thanks to Joseph de Venoge. Produced after the classic Champagne fashion with a blend of Pinot Noir red wine and white wines made from the three grape varieties, it is perfect served as an aperitif on a sunny day or poured over red berry fruits or with something more adventurous such as stewed lobster in truffled seafood cream. De Venoge rosé comes in a clear glass bottle so as to reveal its beautiful colour. The label shows Yvonne de Venoge, Marquess de Mun, at table with her husband and evokes her appreciation of this particular champagne. De Venoge rosé should be drunk young. Contrary to most of our other cuvées we do not recommend that it should be cellared over a long period. (6 x 75 cl)

Our vintage has to retain a certain affinity of flavour with the Cordon Bleu and reflect the vintage in which it is made. The blend is therefore quite similar to the Brut Cordon Bleu but includes a majority of Pinot Noir including wines from crus such as Aÿ and Verzenay with 15 (6 x 75 cl)

Established in Epernay since 1839, De Venoge naturally has very close links with the Côte des Blancs and Sézanne, the two main growing areas for chardonnay. So since the middle of the 19th century our Vintage Blanc de Blancs has been made with a blend of 80% grapes from the Côte des Blancs and 20% from the area around Sézanne. It therefore stands out from other Blancs de Blancs made in Champagne and shows the superbly balanced acidity and structure of the grapes from the Côte and the vinosity of those from Sézanne. Like all great white wines De Venoge Blanc de Blancs can be drunk as an aperitif, with seafood or with fish. We have found that our Blanc de Blancs tends to develop much more complex aromas if it is cellared for two or three years. (6 x 75 cl)

The brand name was registered in 1864. Typically, Grand Vin des Princes is a very special blend of Blanc de Blancs from grands crus on the Côte des Blancs. This cuvée was created for the Princes of Orange but was made available to the general public in 1858, the idea being to win clients from amongst the great families of Europe. Since 1961 it has been housed in a special bottle shaped like a decanter, as a reminder of the way it used to be served in the 19th century. Grand Vin des Princes is still served at royal banquets at the court of Emperor Akihito of Japan for example. Its marvellous structure and concentrated aromas make it a superb match for lobster, monkfish or even caviar. For the record, in 1895 De Venoge registered the brands "Cuvée des Princes", "Cuvée Princière", "Champagne des Princes", "Réserve des Princes" and also "Champagne Rouge des Princes" and "Tisane des Princes", a very sweet champagne.
