The Dehours’ Estate makes wines from the family vineyards, following methods of production that respect biodiversity and maximise terroir expression. An example would be, working the soil and allowing grass to grow between the vines. The wines are aged on lees and clarified by natural settling without filtration or fining. Producer Jerome Dehours is a member of the 'Les Artisans du Champagne', which brings together high quality, mostly single estate champagne producers for an annual tasting. Dehours is one of Champagne’s most exciting estates making stylish and expertly crafted wines with a careful approach and excellent quality. We believe there is real creativity and attention to detail in his winemaking for him to develop the complexity from the blending of solera methods with the combined drive to show what Pinot Meunier and single vineyards in the Marne Valley can produce. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFood suggestion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs this is on the richer style of champagne, you could experiment with the smaller, creamy Oysters and serve as an aperitif or it could also work well with some chargrilled beef, or slow-cooked lamb (which becomes tender and sweeter in texture) with lemon preserve to pick up those citrus notes in the wine. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2017-12-18T11:51:26+11:00","created_at":"2017-11-30T14:53:21+11:00","vendor":"Dehours \u0026 Fils","type":"Brut","tags":["Brut","Grower","New Arrival","Region: Mareuil-le-Port","Sustainable","Taste: Apricot","Taste: Barrel-maturation","Taste: Lemon Zest","Taste: Malo-lactic Fermentation","Taste: Orange Peel","Taste: Pinot Meunier","Taste: Pinot Meunier Dominant","Taste: Solera","Taste: Spice","Taste: Williams Pear","Under $100","Year: NV"],"price":7500,"price_min":7500,"price_max":7500,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":8499,"compare_at_price_min":8499,"compare_at_price_max":8499,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":6027919753244,"title":"Single","option1":"Single","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"DEHOUR_GRAND_RES_SGL","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":2586894631021,"product_id":454428229660,"position":1,"created_at":"2018-05-04T20:45:13+10:00","updated_at":"2018-05-04T20:45:34+10:00","alt":"Dehours And Fils Grande Reserve Brut NV Champagne","width":540,"height":1080,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/dehours-and-fils-grande-reserve-brut-nv-champagne-image.jpg?v=1525430734","variant_ids":[6027919753244]},"available":true,"name":"Dehours \u0026 Fils Grande Reserve - Single","public_title":"Single","options":["Single"],"price":7500,"weight":1000,"compare_at_price":8499,"inventory_quantity":0,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"continue","barcode":""}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/dehours-and-fils-grande-reserve-brut-nv-champagne-image.jpg?v=1525430734"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1922\/1617\/products\/dehours-and-fils-grande-reserve-brut-nv-champagne-image.jpg?v=1525430734","options":["Size"],"content":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are into champagne or wines in fact that are mouth-filling, rich and speaks of it's origins then may we present to you, the 'Grande Reserve' from Jerome Dehours.

The Dehours’ Estate makes wines from the family vineyards, following methods of production that respect biodiversity and maximise terroir expression. An example would be, working the soil and allowing grass to grow between the vines. The wines are aged on lees and clarified by natural settling without filtration or fining. Producer Jerome Dehours is a member of the 'Les Artisans du Champagne', which brings together high quality, mostly single estate champagne producers for an annual tasting. Dehours is one of Champagne’s most exciting estates making stylish and expertly crafted wines with a careful approach and excellent quality.
