The Winery
Champagne Dosnon is located in Avirey-Lingey, in the heart of the unique terroir known as La Côte des Bar. Situated in the southern part of the Champagne region, the vineyards lie on rolling hills of hard limestone soils, similar to those found in Chablis.The terroir, characterised by clayey-limestone soils, imparts particularly rich aromas and flavours to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, which develop exceptional finesse and fruitiness as they age
Dosnon’s champagnes are expertly crafted, highlighting the mineral richness of the Côte des Bar terroir. Fermented in Puligny-Montrachet barrels, resulting in champagnes with a mineral complexity reminiscent of Chablis with bubbles. With minimal dosage, the wines’ natural character shines through. Additionally, none of the wines undergo fining or filtration.
