Davy Dosnon studied viticulture and enology in Beaune and he brings a Burgundian passion for the land to his work. He returned to take charge of his grandfather’s 1 ha of vines in Avirey-Lingey. The produce was originally just sold to the big houses. Davy began to make his own Champagne in his spare time and started his own house in 2007.
Today Davy Dosnon runs a small, artisan cellar owning approx. 2 ha in Avirey-Lingey, Polisot and Urville and buy grapes from neighbouring growers working with the same spirit. Soils of this area are very particular with Kimmeridgian and Portlandian clay limestone. Dosnon also make their wines in a fairly non-manipulated style. The Recolte Noir wines are fermented and aged in oak and are bottled with low or no dosage. Annual production as négociant manipulant est. 40’000 bottles.
