< Previous40 GAULT&MILLAU CHAMPAGNE INDEX DELAVENNE D elavenne Père & Fils is nestled in the heart of Bouzy, a renowned Grand Cru village. Founded in the late 19th century, this family-run house has been privileged to inherit a rich legacy steeped in tradition and skill that has been passed down through generations. The Delavenne family are "récoltant-manipulant" or grower-producers, meaning they control the entire process from vine to bottle. This allows them to safeguard the unique character and quality of their wines, ensuring a consistent profile that has become synonymous with the Delavenne name. Respected for their rigorous practices, the family firmly adheres to sustainable viticulture. They employ organic methods, shunning synthetic chemicals in favour of techniques that respect the land and promote biodiversity.

He is believed to have been the first person to blend grapes in a way that improved wines, and to have introduced methods to create sparkling wines more than a century before they became the main style produced in Champagne. The first vintage from the Champagne house Dom Pérignon was a 1921, released for sale in 1936. In between, 300 bottles of Dom Pérignon were sold to Simon Bros. & Co. in the UK, the company that imported Moët, which went on to give two bottles to each of its 150 best customers. Subsequent bottles began to display the Dom Pérignon name. The number of bottles produced in each vintage is not known, but at least five million bottles are produced per year. Where the vintage of a bottle is not provided as with some variations, the bottles are recorded as ND.
