Champagne Philippe Fays - Douceur
For (very) gourmand champagne lovers!
The Demi-Sec dosage, which has become very rare in Champagne, is reinterpreted by Philippe Fays through his Cuvée Douceur.
The freshness of the Chardonnay (50%) combined with the structure of the Pinot Noir (50%) form the basis of the blend for this champagne, aged for 3 to 4 years in the cellar.
The demi-sec dosage of 38 g/l brings harmony and distinction to this opulent champagne.
A champagne for great gourmands!

Champagne Philippe Fays
A journey into the southern Champagne region with this Côte des Bar winegrower.
The village of Celles-sur-Ource is home to Philippe Fays' vineyards, where he grows and turn into wine grape varieties so emblematic of his terroir. Among them, the Chardonnay, along with the region's emblematic Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc, an endemic variety that brings a distinctive touch to the blends.
What's the house style?
Malolactic fermentation on all cuvées, helping to soften the wine's natural acidity for softer, rounder aromas throughout tasting.
