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.
At De Venoge, nothing is left to chance, starting with the selection of the grapes. A rigorous selection process is made to select the most optimally ripe grapes. Some of the grapes are purchased, while others come from their own 19-hectare vineyard. The unique character is partly due to the fact that De Venoge uses only the first pressing. The wine is aged for a minimum of three years instead of the mandatory 15 months.
The bubbles dance in the glass after pouring this Princes Extra Brut. The aroma reveals pleasant notes of apple, apricot, and pear. A delicious fruity bouquet that also carries over to the palate, along with notes of citrus, brioche, and toast. A delightful sparkling wine that pairs perfectly with pork, various types of fish, and mild cheeses.
