About
Dosnon Brut Blanc de Noirs "Ephemere" NV is a dry Champagne crafted exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes, showcasing the depth and versatility of this red grape variety in a white Champagne form. Originating from the esteemed vineyards of the Aube region in Champagne, France, "Ephemere" stands as a testament to the unique terroir and Dosnon's dedication to highlighting the distinctive character of single-varietal expressions. This Blanc de Noirs, named "Ephemere" to reflect its fleeting and unique nature, combines the richness of Pinot Noir with the elegance and finesse that Champagne is renowned for, offering a singular tasting experience that captivates and delights.
Producer
Arriving in Champagne, Davey Dosnon was impressed by Burgundy and decided to locate his wine house in Aube, 40 km from Chablis. As the taste of the wine, especially Recolte Blanche, shows, the terroir has more in common with Burgundy than Champagne. In Burgundy, Dosnon collaborates with Rossignol-Trapet, and in Champagne with Serge Mathieu and Moutard Père et Fils. The winery was founded in 2009. Dosnon owns two hectares of vineyards in Avira Lange, and in addition, he buys grapes from the 5 hectares of vineyards that are located next to his winery (therefore they have N.M. status). 50,000 bottles are produced annually. All champagne is fermented in small, previously used barriques, and then aged for 20–45 months. The habit of aging wine in barriques also comes from Burgundy.
Tasting notes
Tasting notes for Dosnon Brut Blanc de Noirs “Ephemere” NV unveil a complex and inviting aroma profile, with notes of ripe red berries, crisp apples, and a hint of brioche, leading to a palate that balances the fruitiness of Pinot Noir with a crisp, refreshing acidity and a creamy, lingering finish. The nuanced interplay of fruit and minerality, coupled with a delicate mousse, makes this Champagne a sophisticated choice for any occasion.
Pairing
This Champagne pairs beautifully with rich, savory dishes, such as roasted pork or mushroom risotto, where its acidity and fruit-forward character cut through the richness and complement the flavors. It is also an excellent match for aged cheeses, allowing the Champagne’s complexity and the cheese’s depth to enhance each other, creating a memorable and harmonious pairing experience.

Blanc de Noirs
Champagne
The Champagne region combines specific climate, soil, and topography conditions that form a unique terroir currently used by approx. 15 000 vine-growers and 300 wine houses. The region has 4 sub-regions - Montagne de Reims, Côte des Blancs, Vallée de la Marne, and Côte des Bar. Each provides customers with a different style of sparkling wine. The dominant grapes are Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier which are mainly used in Montagne de Reims and Vallée de la Marne, while Chardonnay shows excellent results in Côte des Blancs. The region is even more appealing because of the so-called "Growe's Champagne" wines, the production of which is overseen by one family from start to finish - they grow and press grapes, make wine, and bottle it in the territory of one wine house. This gives the wine a true charm, aura, and unique flavor.
