Champagne used to be a red wine region…

e Venoge, always at the forefront of the finest and noblest traditions, decided to remember to anyone that Champagne region used to be a red wine region producing a Côteaux Champenois : the Louis XIV favourite wine.

• The place: a sunny area in the villages “Les Riceys” in the locality called “La forêt”.
• The particularity: 40 years old vineyards, specially selected for the red wine production
• The method: permanent cares, green harvest to reduce the production, harvest hand made, bunch selection to collect the best grapes, berry selection, long maturing, ageing in oak barrels
• The result: A wine which compete against the best! 100% Pinot noir, this exceptional northern red wine is a perfect match with meat dishes thanks to its presence and complexity

Unfortunately, quality can’t stand with quantity, that’s why in 2001, only 6000 bottles have been produced… Could you let pass such a wine!?

Cuvée 20 ans: the EXTRA-BRUT excellence

ounded in 1837, de Venoge keeps in its hundred years old cellars « treasures » of old vintage champagnes very estimated. Thanks to their slow maturing, those old vintages develop such a complex bouquet that so few lovers had the occasion to taste it.

Since September 2003, de Venoge will propose to all the wine lovers an outstanding champagne 20 years old vintage, which fruit and balance keep a superlative freshness with so fine bubbles.

De Venoge decided to propose it « extra-brut » which means without adding sugar, to underline its subtlety and its acidity rounded by the old maturing.

Drunk as a sophisticated aperitif or a perfect match for subtle meals, the cuvée 20 ans de Venoge should be served between 8°C and 10°C.
