Formerly known as Cuvee 17, the M.V. LA Cuvee is Dumangin's entry level Champagne, and is easily the best value we have. It is a multi-vintage Champagne... hence the name, and we love the new labels!
Producer Description
"M.V La Cuvée (formely known as « La Cuvée 17 »), is the Alchimiste en Champagne version of a Multi Vintage cuvée. Composed of the 3 grapes with an average 50% reserve wines depending on years, it comes in all sizes.
"This fine and fruity champagne is versatile and will complement most fine dishes Pristine bouquet of vibrant lemons and strawberry hull opens out into a palate of fantastic, linear freshness with great persistance"

What do Kate and William (the Royals) and Paul McCartney and Gordon Ramsay have in common? Beyond all hailing from the United Kingdom, they also all drink Dumangin Champagne.
Who are the Dumangins? The family have been growers in the 1er Cru village of Chigny-Les-Roses since the early 1900s and their family can be traced back to working in the vineyards since the 1650s. Gilles Dumangin is the present owner and has worked tirelessly to ward off takeovers from big-name Champagne houses. They are a small family business that makes great-tasting Champagne.
Dumangin Champagne is a 130-year-old family-owned Champagne producer from the Premier Cru Terroirs of the “Montagne de Reims.” Today the winery is run by Gilles Dumangin, a 4th generation Cellar Master & winemaker, who modernized the brand in the 1990s. Although not certified organic, Dumangin takes an organic approach to the tending and harvesting of fruit at its 29 vineyard parcels. The wines are treated with care and aged much longer than the industry standards; no younger than 3 years for non-vintage Champagnes, and after no less than 9 years for vintage wines. The Champagnes are only blended on the day they are bottled.
Gilles has also expanded the Dumangin repertoire over the past 20 years. Dumangin also produces Ratafia Champenois which is a fortified wine from the Champagne region of France typically made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Brandy or a neutral grape spirit is added to the grape juice before fermentation. He has also become an independent bottler of whisky - sourcing casks from various Scottish, American, and European whisky makers and then finishing the whisky in his own Ratafia Casks.
Kensington Wine Market is privileged to work with Gilles Dumangin, his family and his team. We are proud to be one of the exclusive sellers of Dumangin Champagne for nearly two decades.

One of the world's greatest wines! Dom Perignon was the 17th century Benedictine monk who has gone down in history as the person who "invented" Champagne. He sold the brand name to Moet & Chandon, which used it as the name for its prestige cuvée, which was first released in 1937. Incredibly smooth, creamy fruit with perfect balance that with age takes on toasty aromas and a finesse equaled by very few of the other Grandes Marques. A blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes.

A Kensington Wine Market exclusive! A grower-producer in the heart of Chigny-les-Rose, Giles Dumangin has champagne coursing through his veins. Dating back to the 1650s, the Dumangins have always worked with the vines of Champagne, but it wasn't until 1890 when Hippolyte Dumangin created Champagne Dumangin in the 1er Cru vineyards of Chigny-les-Roses. Five generations later, Champagne Dumangin is producing an array of wines, from their classic, feminine style to their newer, high-end cuvees. This non-vintage blend is made up of 47% Chardonnay, 37% Pinot Noir and 16% Pinot Meunier, and it accounts for almost 50% of their production. It is a truly delicious wine, pale salmon in colour with an enticing scent of strawberry. On the palate, it offers subtle notes of raspberry and citrus with some toasty brioche notes on the finish.

A gorgeous sparkling wine from Canada's own Benjamin Bridge! This Nova Scotia-based winery is making some world-class bubbles, and winning awards all around the world. See what the fuss is about. And Forbes magazine picked this 2008 beauty as one of only three sparkling wines it recommended for its Thanksgiving wines this year: "Yes, Nova Scotia. The Gaspereau Valley on the Bay of Fundy, to be exact. I poured this wine for a group of friends the other night, and it was the winner by far even before they knew it was from Nova Scotia. Learning that, and the novelty of its origin, meant they liked it even more…"

Now available in the perfect little bottle! A grower-producer in the heart of Chigny-les-Rose, Giles Dumangin has champagne coursing through his veins. Dating back to the 1650's, the Dumangin's have always worked with the vines of Champagne, but it wasn't until 1890 when Hippolyte Dumangin created Champagne Dumangin in the 1er Cru vineyards of Chigny-les-Roses. Five generations later, Champagne Dumangin is producing an array of wines, from their classic feminine style to their newer, high-end cuvees. This Cuvee 17 is (almost) an equal blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, and is one of their newest additions to their line. Cuvee 17 is a natural style champagne, but this is serious wine! With 33% of the bottle consisting of reserve wine, it creates a fierce complexity and opulent notes of elderflower, banana, lemon cream and hints of brioche. Perfect as an aperitif, with appetizers or with fresh seafood.
