De Venoge Cuvée des Princes Prestige

Cuvée des Princes is the prestige cuvée of De Venoge, a smaller Épernay maison founded in 1837 and now under the Lanson-BCC group. The wine is a 100% Chardonnay vintage, sourced largely from grand cru villages of the Côte des Blancs.

The bottle — a flat-shouldered, decanter-like flacon — is itself a marketing fixture. Inside, the cuvée matures on lees for around six years and is finished with a low dosage to keep the focus on the Chardonnay material.
