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. — a year ago

@Delectable Wine This is the blanc, à 60 / 40 Sb / chard blend. Very tasty, plenty of zip, generous citrus character and an oyster shell minerality — 5 years ago
Pretty purple dress. First superb nose both fresh and peppery on small black blueberry, blackcurrant, violet flower; then more surprising notes on mountain climates and stink in Switzerland for me. It evokes more southern notes of syrah, such as Cornas, St-Joseph, bacon and smoke without the graphite charcoal side. Really a beautiful cuvée that connects two types of syrah usually tasted. The mouth is fluid. Cuvée full of charm with certainly cold extraction to infuse the fruit to the maximum without excess alcohol. Congratulations Switzerland once again! 🙏🇨🇭
Jolie robe pourpre. Premier nez ouvert à la fois frais et poivré, petits fruits noirs myrtille, cassis, violette; puis des notes plus surprenantes sur les climats de montagnes évoquant les syrah plus sudistes (Cornas, St-Joseph): lard, fumée sans le côté charbon graphite. Une belle cuvée faisant la jonction entre deux types de syrah habituellement goûtées. La bouche est fluide et salivante. Cuvée pleine de charme avec certainement une extraction à froid pour infuser le fruit au maximum sans excès d’alcool. Bravo la Suisse encore une fois ! 🙏🇨🇭 — 2 years ago
