AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Length 100 cm. Height 50 cm.track.
An internationally award-winning champagne house that combines high quality with a unique character. The De Venoge family, which has been producing Champagne since 1837, originally comes from Switzerland, on the shores of Lake Geneva into which the ‘Venoge’ flows, a small river. The famous ‘cordon bleu’, the blue band across the label, is a reference to the river after which the family is named and to the nobility who wore such bands. Cordon Rouge was also a De Venoge brand, but it was later married off to Mumm. De Venoge applies a very strict selection of its grape stocks. In addition to purchased fruit, there is fruit from a 19-hectare vineyard estate. The unique character is partly determined by the separation of the better cuvée, the first pressing, and the taille, the second pressing, which is not used by De Venoge. After the bottles are laid down in the cellar, they are guaranteed to age for 3 years instead of the 15 months the law requires. From a half bottle to a jeroboam (3 liters), the champagne ages in the original bottle, which provides an extra guarantee of quality. In short: all quality factors are present in a De Venoge bottle!
This is also evident from the large number of international accolades. A sampling of them: in the Classement de Champagne 2008 by Dussert Gerber, the Princes of De Venoge are placed in the highest category out of about 20 Champagnes in total. Moreover, the Louis XV earned a ‘coup de coeur’ here. The other cuvées, including the ‘regular brut’, also received excellent ratings; in the Guide Hachette 2008, the Louis XV 1995 received three stars and a ‘coup de coeur’; ‘Fine Champagne Magazine’ conducted a tasting in 2009 of more than 100 ‘non-vintage’ Champagnes. The Brut Cordon Bleu Select scored excellently, placing 20th, and the Blanc de noirs even reached 4th place.
