Denis Patoux Vintage 2016

 Year 2016 was very different for the champagne producers. Some producers had a horrible year, others had a great year. In Vandières, Vallée de la Marne it was a great year in terms of quality and they managed to make a great vintage champagne. It should also be said that most champagne producers had a lower amount of grape quantity because of the hard year. This vintage is still very fresh and enjoyable and can be drunk without food. But it will also pair lovely with some fresh fish such as sashimi. This vintage is perfect to keep in your cellar, but can also be drunk now.

Denis Patoux is a family-owned champagne producer who produces great quality champagne where you get an amazing value for money. They are located in Vandières, champagne, France. The champagne house is mostly run by Mr. and Madamme Patoux and their children are starting to take over as time goes. They produce their champagne in their own facilities and the grapes are picked from their own grape fields. This means that everything happens in place which ensures their high-quality champagne. Other than that it also avoids a lot of transport of the grapes which is better for the environment. All of their champagne is aged in-house whereas their non-vintage champagnes must be aged for at least 12 months on 'lees'. Their vintage champagnes are aged for much longer, their newest release is their millésime 2016 which has been aging for 6 years. At Denis Patoux they make a mix of lovely non-vintage champagne, where you can find most champagne styles available on the market. Other than that they also have a fantastic selection of vintage champagnes, as time goes we will try to expand our selection from Denis Patoux as we really believe in their product which is of high quality, while still being affordable.
