This is a new cuvee, made to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the coronation of King Louis XV of France. It comes in a special black bottle with a zinc medal on the neck. It looks like the ancient bottle that was used at the coronation. It shows a full body with plenty of red apple, caramel, cloves and nutmeg character. Very fine bubbles. Flavorful finish. Made from 65% 2018 and 35% of reserve 2013, 2014 and 2015. Pinot noir, pinot meunier and chardonnay, all by a third. Disgorged in March 2022. Three and a half years on the lees. 5g/L dosage.

Conveying the image of nobility, distinction and refinement, de Venoge has quite an interesting history. The House was founded in 1837 by Swiss native, Henri-Marc de Venoge. The de Venoge family can actually trace its roots back to 15th century Switzerland, to where the Venoge river flows into Lake Geneva. Since 1998, the House has joined the Champagne group, Boizel Chanoine Champagne. Today, the House’s wines are distributed in over 40 countries and each bottle is made with the highest of quality standards including low dosages, the use of only first-press juices and long aging periods.
