Dosnon Brut Nature 2010

Dosnon Brut Nature 2010 is an exceptionally dry champagne, made in the Brut Nature style with zero dosage, allowing the purity and expressiveness of the wine to shine through without any added sweetness. Crafted from select Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes from the esteemed Aube region in Champagne, France, this vintage champagne reflects the unique terroir and climatic conditions of the 2010 harvest, showcasing Dosnon's dedication to producing distinctive, terroir-driven champagnes. The 2010 vintage is a testament to the winery's commitment to minimal intervention winemaking, presenting a champagne that is both refined and complex, with a clear expression of its origin.

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 for Dosnon Brut Nature 2010 reveal a vibrant and intricate bouquet of fresh citrus, green apple, and white flowers, leading to a palate that is crisp and mineral-driven, with a remarkable depth and a clean, lingering finish. The absence of added sugar highlights the champagne’s natural acidity and elegance, making it an exquisite example of the Brut Nature style.

This champagne pairs beautifully with fresh oysters or sushi, as its crisp acidity and mineral notes complement the delicate flavors of the seafood, enhancing the taste experience. It also serves as an excellent accompaniment to a goat cheese salad, where the champagne’s brightness and subtle complexity cut through the creaminess of the cheese, creating a balanced and refreshing pairing.
