If Dumoiselle were to be described in one word, it might be “Champagne that embodies Art Nouveau. Released by the Vranken Pommery Monopole Group in 1985, it has its roots in the “Art Nouveau” style of art created at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century.

Dumoiselle means “dragonfly” in French, and is derived from the dragonflies that flew in the garden of the Château de Castaigne. This dragonfly is also famous as a motif favored by René Lalique, who was born in Champagne and was active in the Art Nouveau period. The Dumoiselle was created as a tribute to Art Nouveau and René Lalique. Even today, it continues to be loved by many as an elegant Champagne that keeps its spirit alive.

Chardonnay is the mainstay of Dumoiselle, because it expresses the elegance and grace of Art Nouveau. Chardonnay’s delicate impression and graceful aromas reminiscent of white flowers are essential to the style that Demoiselle seeks. Furthermore, the Chardonnay used at Demoiselle is sourced from Premier Cru vineyards and above, and the quality of the Chardonnay is uncompromising.

Dominique, the winemaker of the house, is a native of the village of Avize, known as the Grand Cru of Chardonnay, and therefore knows Chardonnay inside and out. The Chardonnay used is the “Tête de Cuvée,” or first pressing, which is a luxurious production of only 2,050 liters from 4,000 kilograms of grapes. The wine is made with the utmost care and attention to detail, and is the embodiment of “elegance and femininity” and Art Nouveau, which is what DEMOISELLE is all about.

The cuvée offered in the “Plan with Champagne” is “Tete de Cuvée”. This Champagne has a soft and elegant taste and is made only from the first pressing of carefully selected grapes from Premier Cru vineyards and above. Please enjoy a graceful and fantastic moment with Dumoiselle’s Champagne, as if you were transported back in time to the Art Nouveau era.
