Champagne Delavenne

Âme de Vitalie

The Champagne Âme de Vitalie by Delavenne is a special edition inspired by the birth of Vitalie, the fifth generation of the Delavenne family. This unique cuvée is obtained from 11 vintages following the Soléra method (from 2004 to 2014), an authentic signature of Maison Delavenne, encapsulating its history and spirit. The wine is made with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes sourced from the heart of the Grand Cru terroir of Bouzy, from wonderful south-facing vineyards cultivated on chalky, clay-limestone soils. Vinification takes place in stainless steel containers, without malolactic fermentation, through a natural process with indigenous yeasts and without cold passage. Ageing takes place in the estate's natural quarries, dug into the chalk, where the wine rests on the lees for at least 5 years.

With its refined and profound character, this unique cuvée, produced in only 3,048 bottles, is marked by a long finish on the palate and extraordinary finesse.

Delavenne

The Delavenne family, now in its fourth generation of récoltants-manipulants, is currently led by Jean-Christophe Delavenne, also President of the Association "Les Échevins de Bouzy", a company of Bouzy winemakers whose mission is to defend and make known the Bouzy wines.Based in Bouzy, the Domaine has 10 hectares of property of which 9 in the village of Bouzy, 100% Grand Cru in the Montagne de Reims and 1 hectare in the village of Cramant, 100% Grand Cru in the Côte des Blancs.The total production is about 70,000 bottles/year based on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay only.

The Delavenne family manages the vineyard by adopting a sustainable and responsible approach, the land is in fact worked with integrated viticulture methods and the Domaine is in organic conversion.The parcel vinification is managed in separate tanks so that each must can reveal its own characteristics, expression of the terroir of origin; the subsequent blending phase is done with competence and passion by Jean - Louis and Jean Christophe Delavenne.Malolactic fermentation is not done and the winemaking process involves the exclusive use of indigenous yeasts for alcoholic fermentation.

The rest in the vats at cellar temperature is extended to 9 months, in order to obtain a wine expression of the variety, of the characteristics of the vintage of the harvest and a greater maturity; for this reason, the company bottles its Champagnes in July instead of February as usual. The Delavenne Champagnes age in the natural cellars of the Domaine dug into the chalk for a minimum of three years, longer for the vintage cuvées; this means that they are ready to drink as soon as they are purchased
