In 1837, the Champagne house De Venoge was founded by the Swiss Henri-Marc de Venoge. For years, they have been at the forefront, producing exquisite Champagnes with a beautiful balance of fruit and elegance. In the heart of the Champagne region, they own a beautiful historic building. The house is particularly known for its Cordon Bleu Brut, which is marketed with a distinctive band on the label. This band symbolizes the Venoge River, which flows into Lake Geneva in Switzerland, the family's origins. Henri-Marc was also the first in the history of Champagne to design an illustrated label.
The Chardonnay grapes for this Blanc de Blancs come from Premiers Cru or Grand Cru vineyards in Mesnil-sur-Oger and Trepail. Only the very best grapes are harvested at peak ripeness. Only the juice from the first pressing is used. They also opt for a very long aging process, giving the Blanc de Blancs its distinctive character. They age the champagne on the lees for a minimum of three years, instead of the mandatory 15 months.
With a golden yellow color, this Princes Blanc de Blancs shines in the glass. The nose offers aromas of citrus and flowers. On the palate, it offers a fresh and elegant flavor with light woody notes complemented by citrus fruit. Ideal as an aperitif, it also pairs beautifully with light appetizers.
