Direct estate release. Stored professionally. No reserve price. Description These two Magnums of Champagne Duménil Réserve 26 represent the finest expression of Chigny-les-Roses and one of the most authentic Premier Cru traditions in Champagne. Duménil is a proud and longstanding member of Le Club Trésors de Champagne, the most exclusive collective of grower champagne producers. Membership is granted only to houses that meet the highest standards of craftsmanship, vineyard management, and independent family ownership. Réserve 26 is one of the estate’s most sought‑after cuvées, produced in very limited quantities. Founded in 1874 by Elie and Cécile Duménil, the House remains fully independent and family‑owned. Today it is led by the fifth generation: Frédérique Poret-Rebeyrolle and her husband Hugues Poret. Frédérique, great-granddaughter of the founders, oversees the blends, while Hugues manages 45 Premier Cru parcels in Chigny‑les‑Roses, Ludes, and Rilly‑la‑Montagne. The domaine combines traditional know‑how with certified sustainable viticulture (HVE Level 3). Réserve 26 Mémoire This cuvée is the House’s tribute to Michel Duménil, who initiated the perpetual reserve in the legendary 1996 vintage. Each Magnum contains a blend of 26 different years from 1996 to 2021. The perpetual reserve method ensures both freshness and depth, harmonising youthful energy with the complexity gained from nearly three decades of continuous evolution. Grapes are exclusively Premier Cru, guaranteeing purity, precision, and elegance. Critic Ratings Decanter World Wine Awards 92 points – Very fine mousse with elegant brioche and citrus tone Vinum Wine Magazine 18/20 points – Harmony, spice, green and yellow apple, excellent balance JancisRobinson.com – Noted for exceptional complexity Andreas Larsson, Best Sommelier of the World, 89 points – Vinous, creamy, brioche, butter K and L Wine Merchants – Exceptional depth and one of the standout values of the year Magnum Advantage The 1.5 litre format enhances aging capacity thanks to its superior surface‑to‑volume ratio, resulting in slower development and greater refinement.
