The Champagne Extra Brut "Eveil" is made from 100% estate-grown Maison Dupont grapes from different plots in the Champagne region. It matures for 3 years in the bottle on the lees and is creamy, silky and generous, with good tension and sustained perlage, with a rich and complex aromatic palette, among which emerge aromas of hazelnut, honey, spices, lemon and lemon balm.

The ‘Eveil’ Extra Brut Champagne from the V&G Dupont production company is characterized as a soft and refined Champagne, with great pleasantness. The ‘Eveil’ range by Valérie and Gaël Dupont, the married couple who own the estate, includes bubbles produced exclusively from grapes sourced from their own vineyards that authentically reflect the couple's agroecological approach. Every year, Valérie and Gaël select the best bunches from each plot, vinifying them separately. The name ‘Eveil’, which means “awakening”, symbolizes the evolution of the couple's vision, which has quickly brought them closer to organic farming and agroecology, as if they had been “awakened” by Nature.

V&G Dupont Extra Brut Champagne ‘Eveil’ is made from a blend of Pinot Meunier (57%), Chardonnay (33%), and Pinot Noir (10%), grape varieties cultivated in the spirit of organic farming and agroecology on clay-limestone soils.argillaceous-limestone. In particular, the Meunier and Pinot Noir come from the owned parcels located in the municipality of Brimont, while the Chardonnay comes from the villages of Vert-Toulon and Allemant. After the harvest, the white winemaking of the grapes follows, and once ready, the sparkling base is bottled with the liqueur de tirage for refermentation in the bottle according to the Champenoise Method, with the sur lie aging in glass lasting for 36 months. After this period, the degorgement and dosage Extra Brut are finally carried out.

The Extra Brut Champagne ‘Eveil’ by V&G Dupont has a golden color with slight rosy reflections and intense, fine effervescence. From the glass, precious notes of almond, hazelnut, sweet spices, honey, citrus, and aromatic herbs emerge. Soft and creamy on the palate, with a zesty freshness that accompanies the finish of great finesse.
