Vintage Character Dumangin J. Fils ‘L’ Extra Brut’ Premier Cru NV is a finely crafted Champagne that highlights both fruit purity and terroir-driven elegance.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Sourced from Premier Cru vineyards around Chigny-les-Roses in the Montagne de Reims, this cuvée is composed primarily of Pinot Meunier, supported by Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, giving it both breadth and finesse. As an Extra Brut, it is vinified with very low dosage, allowing the natural freshness and minerality to take center stage. On the nose, it offers aromas of citrus zest, green apple, and wild strawberry, layered with brioche and subtle almond notes from extended lees aging. The palate is crisp and focused, with fine, persistent bubbles, a chalky texture, and a long, dry finish that marries fruit intensity with precision. Its lively acidity and savory depth make it a superb partner for oysters, sashimi, or a simple goat cheese tart, where its tension and layered complexity bring an added dimension to the pairing.
