Dosnon
Dosnon's location in Avirey-Lingey on the Côte de Bar is no coincidence: Davy Dosnon is absolutely mad about Burgundy. All the better that his vineyard is only 40 kilometres from Chablis and that the soils and microclimate on the Aube are much more similar to Chablis than the terroir of the rest of Champagne. His training programmes at Rossignol-Trapet in Burgundy and Moutard Père et Fils in Champagne have also left a clear stylistic mark:
Dosnon mainly works with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Dosnon owns just over 2 hectares of vines (but cultivates a further 3 hectares) and the average age of the vines is over 30 years. The domaine has been in the process of converting to labour-intensive biodynamic cultivation since 2022. All wines are fermented in 228-litre, 500-litre or 600-litre Burgundian wooden barrels with natural yeasts and then matured for 20-45 months. In addition, the wines are neither filtered nor clarified and, for some years now, no sulphur has been added.
This gives the champagnes a warm, sometimes smoky character. Nevertheless, Dosnon succeeds in giving the champagnes additional complexity through the wood, while at the same time maintaining the structure, freshness, finesse and minerality, which makes for multi-layered, powerful and full-bodied champagnes.

Dosnon Côte de Grattegeline Millésime 2019
100% Pinot NoirDosage 0g/lFrom a single vineyard in Avirey-LingeyMaturation in barriqueBottle ageing: 3 yearsUnfined, unfiltered and without added sulphitesTilman FEB25: Typical Dosnon reduction, slightly smoky, with very subtle vanilla on the nose. Fresh on the palate, but still with great, restrained fruit. Very mineral Pinot Noir interpretation, clearly chalky impression. Enormous length even now, superbly balanced between the juicy fruit flavours and striking mineral acidity. 2019 is really fun! Two days later from the same bottle: reduction and smoke have almost disappeared, but the wood is more present, but here too it is not intrusive, but always a great symbiosis with the light red fruitiness. The minerality also comes through even more strongly, promising great potential!
