Dosnon Champagne Brut Ephemere 750 ML

It has a strong personality with distinct floral notes of magnolia and rhododendron along with those of wood and spice, dried fruit, golden delicious apple pulp and ripe mango in the aroma. The mouthfeel is full with toasted notes and those of quince apple, while the low dosage provides a nice balancing freshness.

Producer Information
Based in the Côte de Bars village of Avirey-Lingey, Dosnon Champagne (formerly Dosnon & Lepage) released their first wine from the 2007 vintage and immediately attracted attention from savvy wine buyers looking for the next star of the grower movement. Davy Dosnon had trained as a winemaker in Beaune and made Burgundy for years before returning to his native Champagne to work for Moutard and Serge Mathieu. When his old friend Simon-Charles Lepage returned from a legal career to get involved in wine, it made sense to go into business together – Davy handling production and Simon-Charles dealing with the commercial aspects. Davy had inherited two hectares of vines and they leased a further five hectares, all of which is farmed organically (incredibly rare in Champagne), with the wines made at their tiny winery in the village. Arriving at Dosnon feels like a visit to a Burgundy domaine, and not just because it’s a tiny farmhouse in a village surrounded by forests and vineyards. The well stocked barrel room is reminiscent of a Puligny-Montrachet producer, as that is the origin of all of the barrels Davy uses to ferment and mature his wines. Their total production is around 50,000 bottles a year. This is some really masterful work from a truly exciting region of Champagne.
