Champagne Delavenne Père & Fils Lumière Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru NVDelavenne have been family owned since 1920, they produce wine from their own Grand Cru vineyards from Bouzy, Ambonnay and Cramant. They make their wines very naturally, so do not use any chemicals in their vineyards and the wine is vegan. This is very precise wine making. They blend only from two different vintages, largely from single plots. The extraordinary brilliance and sophistication that define Cuve Lumire is the inspiration behind its name.
