Champagne Alain Depoivre Originating from the Vindey region of Champagne, Epernay, France, Alain Depoivre represents the third generation of the esteemed Depoivre Champagne dynasty. The vineyards were originally developed by Pierre Depoivre over 55 years ago.
Renowned for their commitment to quality, the family engages in small-batch production to preserve the distinct crisp flavours of their grapes. Offering a premium range, including a Rosé Champagne, Blanc de Noirs, Prestige Champagne, and Grand Reserve, alongside larger quantities of their Brut tradition, your taste buds are in for a sensorial journey through the finest expressions of the grape.
The processModern production methods are intertwined with the artisan techniques
to craft the champagne where each bottle twill be touched by Alain Depoivre over 40 times during the maturation, ageing and riddling process to produce this essentially, hand-crafted product.
The periods of fermentation are extended to serve to generate the flavours and style of each champagne variety. The fermentation period can extend to 18 months for Champagne Brut tradition and over 3 years for Champagne Brut Prestige.
Great care is taken throughout the production from the grape harvest through to disgorgement and dosage. Disgorgement of the champagne differs from the traditional methods and remains a Depoivre family secret.
