{"product_id":"dosnon-recolte-noire-brut-blanc-de-noirs-champagne-nv-750ml","title":"Dosnon Récolte Noire Brut Blanc de Noirs Champagne NV 750ml","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Côte des Bar, in the south of Champagne, shares its Kimmeridgian limestone with Chablis and Sancerre, which is why its Pinot Noir is so highly regarded, with the delicacy, tension, and mineral line that Burgundy-lovers look for. Davy Dosnon, a young grower trained in Burgundy, farms about 7.5 hectares near Avirey-Lingey, half an hour north of Chablis, and ferments his Champagnes in old Puligny-Montrachet barrels. Antonio Galloni, who has praised the estate as “one of Champagne’s most promising young wineries,” says the wines “might as well be Chablis with bubbles for all their mineral-packed goodness,” and none are fined or filtered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eRécolte Noire is the house’s Blanc de Noirs: 100% Pinot Noir from vines about 25 years old, hand-harvested and pressed by hand, fermented in used 228-liter Puligny-Montrachet barrels (second and third fill), and aged at least two years in bottle, with a low dosage of about 5 g\/L (some sources cite 7). Davy places it near the start of a tasting, instead of the end, “as Pinot on Kimmeridgian soils is delicate, filigreed and mineral. The Récolte Noire certainly has all those characteristics along with a toastiness and elegance of fruit that resembles fresh raspberry or strawberry.” It’s 12% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCritics love it. Wine Spectator scored it 92 to 93: “A pure chime of crushed blackberry and black cherry fruit flavors rings through this elegant blanc de noirs Champagne, with a finely detailed mousse. Citrusy acidity forms a lightly mouthwatering frame for the flavor range of the fruit, anise, smoke and peach skin,” and “vivid flavors of ground spice and graphite are layered with hints of crunchy pear, crushed white raspberry fruit, lemon zest, spun honey and chamomile in this mouthwatering Champagne, which is refined, chalky in texture and harmonious, with a long, lingering finish of rich grilled nut, coffee and spice.” Wine Enthusiast scored it 93: “This is a pale-colored wine with a finely wrought texture and great fruit. It is tight and mineral on the one hand, but balanced with the crispest red-currant flavors that offer a bright line in acidity.” Wilfred Wong of Wine.com scored it 93: “fresh, active, and persistent,” with “aromas and flavors of red fruits and tart berries.” Dan Dawson’s Wine Advisor scored it 90: “Subtle red fruit scents of raspberries, strawberries and cherries with violets and apricot sneaking in. The low dosage and earth-driven base wines make for an athletic Champagne with power and intensity... less fruity and more earthy than most Blanc de Noirs for sure.” Wine-Searcher’s critic average is 89 across 17 scores.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIt’s a precise, mineral, red-fruited Blanc de Noirs, drier and more tightly wound than most, for customers who like a structured, food-friendly Champagne with some Burgundian depth. Serve it at about 8-10°C in a white wine glass, with Thai basil chicken, roast poultry, salmon, charcuterie, and mushroom dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"4\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigins \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eDosnon Récolte Noire Brut is produced by Champagne Dosnon (Davy Dosnon) in Avirey-Lingey, Côte des Bar, Champagne, France, from 100% Pinot Noir (25-year-old vines; Kimmeridgian limestone; 250 m; sustainable viticulture), hand-harvested, manually pressed, and fermented in used 228L Puligny-Montrachet barrels.
