Dumangin Vieux Marc de Champagne 6 yrs 500mL
Dumangin Vieux Marc de Champagne 6 yrs is 40% ABV. This Grappa is aged in oak barrels for 5 years + 1 year in Bordeaux graves rouge barrels. The Marc de Champagne is the result of the distillation of the grapes already pressed to make the Champagne. The grapes are de-stemmed, let to ferment and then distilled at 70°. It is then aged in new wood casks for 5 years before a final year in a cask previously used to age Bordeaux wines. This will bring to it a wonderful woody note, a savory color, vinous and dry notes. Very pleasant as a digestive, it is also used in cooking to obtain fine sauces.

About Dumangin:
1890s A star is born… Champagne Dumangin was created by Hippolyte Dumangin. Jacky Dumangin, 3 generations later, perfected the characteristically feminine Premier Cru champagne range. His son, Gilles Dumangin, 5th generation of successful winemakers, 'upped' the range by introducing the several high-class champagnes that helped position his top of the range wines. And his originality has been to maintain the tradition of distilling his wines and marcs himself and he is one of 2 houses of champagne still doing it. The wealth of champagne houses has made them lazy, to the point that they all contract their distillation to one and same distiller to use their own marcs sometimes and often any marc. The result is that they more or less taste the same
