DEHOURS & FILS
Famille Dehours
Established four generations ago in Cerseuil, a small village on the southern slopes of the valley, the house managed by Jérôme Dehours has diversified vintages and styles, from a very fragmented vineyard on left bank of the Marne river. Its champagnes of character, mainly built around the miller, offer a balance of tasty juice while playing on a fine oxidation wire managed from winemaking in old barrels. The years' assemblages are particularly well-conducted, and the parcel cuvées reveal a beautiful definition.
Established four generations ago in Cerseuil, a small village on the southern slopes of the valley, the house managed by Jérôme Dehours has diversified vintages and styles, from a very fragmented vineyard on both banks of the Marne.

The assemblages of the years are particularly well conducted and the parcel cuvées reveal a very beautiful definition.
Since 1996, Jérome Dehours has given life back to this beautiful 14-hectare estate in Champagne's Marne Valley. Inspired by the great Anselme Selosse, Jérome started with organically - grown vineyards by way of expressing each of the magnificent terroirs he has at hand. The Domaine predominantly produces Pinot Meunier, a varietal best suited to Champagne's cooler area, but also Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Champagne connoisseurs seek out the Dehours Champagnes to find the renowned Meunier style; bold and flavourful with a clear, terroir-orientated approach.

About two-thirds of the reserve is used every year to make room for the new vintage. This brings a vast complexity to the Champagnes, getting them a step closer to a rather vinous style. To complement and push further his philosophy, Jérome releases single-vineyard cuvées named after the vineyard of origin. Continually evolving, Champagne Dehours places identity, character and personality on a pedestal. With only 80,000 bottles produced every year (half of the production is sold to larger houses), these bottles are rare and undoubtedly delicious.
