Hervieux-Dumez

Cuvée des Rois de France 1er Cru Brut Champagne

9.1

Merry Christmas from our family to yours! 🎄🥂

With brunch, we’re sipping a special bottle of bubbly from Champagne Hervieux-Dumez, a grower-producer located in Sacy, a Premier Cru Village in the Montagne de Reims region of Champagne.

We were fortunate to visit Hervieux-Dumez in the fall of 2021. We received a warm, welcoming tour of the property from Clément, who represents the fourth generation of this family business. We had the pleasure of tasting some incredible wines, including this one, which we brought home with us.

It's the ‘Cuvée des Rois de France’ – the ‘Cuvée of the Kings of France’ – named in recognition of Champagne’s history as the traditional site for the coronation of kings at the Basilica Notre-Dame in Reims. 👑 The village of Sacy played a special role in these events as a popular source of water.

This wine is a blend of Pinot Noir, Meunier, and Chardonnay, 50% of which came from reserve wines that aged a minimum of 60 months in the Hervieux-Dumez cellar. It is a medium lemon hue with a fine mousse and offers delicious notes of yellow apple, pear, white raspberry, lemon, blossom, wet stones, brioche, almond paste, and pie crust, with a lingering, elegant finish.

We are grateful for this beautiful experience that remains a beautiful memory. — 4 months ago

60% pinot meunier, 40% pinot noir. Let this warm up a little in the glass—it really shines. Gentle mousse, really shows in the mid-palate—honeyed-sweet changing into dry green apple/bread notes. Short finish. Beautiful work. — 5 years ago
