Cuvée Confidentielle from Maison Dehours is a champagne with particularly fine bubbles, a particularity due to the way it is produced.
A blend of 1/3 Pinot Meunier from the 2006 harvest, 1/3 Chardonnay from the 2006 harvest and 1/3 barrel-aged reserve wines, this is an astonishing cuvée.
Its pressure is lower than that of traditional cuvées (4.5 bar instead of 6) to obtain very fine bubbles.
The dosage is Brut, around 7g/l.
Cuvée Confidentielle by Dehours has a brilliant gold color.
On the nose, notes of wood, vanilla, pineapple, orange peel and honey stand out. This is followed by fuller, richer notes of yellow fruit.
On the palate, this is a fresh, chiselled champagne. On the palate, the Cuvée Confidentielle reveals itself through a vegetal touch, a vinous hint and accents of minerality.
The finish is bitter, even iodized, and long-lasting.
