COMMENTARY: The Champagne Dosnon Recolte Blanche Rosé is alluring and nicely textured on the palate. TASTING NOTES: This wine offers aromas and flavors of dried spices, tart red fruits, and hints of yeastiness. Pair it with a pan-fried, panko-coated Dover sole.

Simon-Charles and Davy are turning out mineral, vinous bottlings of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Fermenting entirely in former Puligny-Montrachet barrels, the champagnes might as well be Chablis with bubbles for all of their mineral-packed goodness. Dosages are very low (in some cases as little as 4 grams per liter) and the wines benefit from the restraint. None of the wines is fined or filtered.
Located less than an hour north of the Burgundian village of Chablis, this region of the Aube valley has more in common with northern Burgundy than with the rest of Champagne. Simon-Charles and Davy are intent on showing that difference to the world. Really masterful work from a lost region of Champagne.
