Who makes it
Champagne Baron Dauvergne is a Champagne producer whose documented wines place Bouzy Grand Cru at the centre and Pinot Noir at the front of the range. Fine Fleur gives that grape its clearest single-variety expression: a Blanc de Noirs made entirely from Pinot Noir, with a 6g/l dosage and a rich, firm body beneath creamy foam.
Tour Eiffel Brut changes the reading by adding 25% Chardonnay to 75% Pinot Noir, then using a 100% Chardonnay liqueur aged in barrel. Les Notre Dames keeps the Pinot Noir emphasis, with a 100% Pinot Noir blend that can sometimes include Pinot Meunier. The range is therefore organised through grape proportion, finishing method, lees time and sweetness.
Where it grows
Bouzy Grand Cru is the shared place name across Fine Fleur, Tour Eiffel Brut and Les Notre Dames. Because the three wines carry the same named origin, their differences come into focus through the grapes and cellar decisions: single-variety Pinot Noir in Fine Fleur, Chardonnay alongside Pinot Noir in Tour Eiffel, and extended lees ageing in Les Notre Dames.
No slope, soil type, elevation or village detail is established for these bottles. The useful place comparison stays with Bouzy Grand Cru and what each cuvée does with its grapes once they reach the cellar.
How it is made
The cellar
Fine Fleur begins with hand-picked grapes and whole bunch pressing. Fermentation takes place at 18°C, followed by malolactic fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats. The wine then ages on laths in traditional cellars before receiving 6g/l dosage.
The documented tasting profile follows that sequence with ripe red fruits, pear, grapefruit and spice, alongside mineral notes and fresh acidity. Its rich, firm body and creamy foam give the 100% Pinot Noir wine a broad, composed mouthfeel.
What they make
Fine Fleur is the range's 100% Pinot Noir Blanc de Noirs from Bouzy Grand Cru. Its 6g/l dosage sits beside ripe red fruit, pear, grapefruit and spicy nuances, while mineral notes, fresh acidity, firm body and creamy foam define its profile.
Tour Eiffel Brut is the blend: 75% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay from Bouzy Grand Cru. Its finishing liqueur is entirely Chardonnay aged in barrel, and the wine carries 7g/l dosage. The range description places it in a bright golden-yellow colour with a powerful nose, fresh hazelnut and a firm, well-shaped palate.
Wines to try
First bottle
Start with Fine Fleur. It keeps Bouzy Grand Cru and Pinot Noir in the clearest relationship because the wine is made entirely from Pinot Noir, without a second grape in the blend. Hand-picked fruit, whole bunch pressing, fermentation at 18°C, stainless-steel malolactic fermentation and ageing on laths lead to a 6g/l dosage.
