Dumangin Whisky

Four simultaneous types of ageing during a minimum of 3 years: Traditional barrel 6 years, Solera barrel 5 years, Vino Santo barrel 7 years, Vat 3 years). Brilliant use of the juices on each champagne press on top of the Champagne appellation. The grape juice is “preserved” by adding a neutral champagne alcohol. The particularly complex blend of Ratafias solera aged, “vino santo” style aged, and tank aged (minimum 4 years aging) brings wonderful fruity aromas and a very distinguished wood note. Very versatile liquor with many food matches: Cheese, melon, chocolate desserts, reducing sauces for duck.

Aged in oak barrels for 5 years 1 year in Bordeaux graves rouge barrels. The Marc de Champagne is the result of the distillation of the grapes already pressed to make the Champagne. The grapes are de-stemmed, let to ferment and then distilled at 70°. It is then aged in new wood casks for 5 years before a final year in a cask previously used to age Bordeaux wines. This will bring to it a wonderful woody note, a savory color, vinous and dry notes. Very pleasant as a digestive, it is also used in cooking to obtain fine sauces.

Sourced from Chigny-les-Roses village, near Reims, using 1er Cru fruit, this grower champagne house produces arguably one of the best priced sparklings around. Regarded by many, including Australia's very own and highly esteemed Tyson Stelzer, as being one of the absolute value buys from Champagne, this classic apertif style wine is everything that your mass-market house Champagne's are not. Pristine, clean and pure, the near-extra brut style stands head and shoulders above anything at a similiar price point. A blend of Pinot Noir fruit, the lemon blossom, nectar and grapefruit zest underpin a beautifully fragrant and floral house style. Their is opulence, but more in its length and lazer like precision. Skillfully blended, using a minimum of 25 year old vines.

Different from the previous batch at the start (notes of brazil nuts) but with a kick on the fruits (cherries, cranberries). After aeration, we find a little the character of the previous one with other notes of rancio. Cocoa powder on the finish, or rather uncoached chocolate. Nice evolution. - Philippe Gosmand from Spirit Paradise
