The Story
Champagne Dumenil is a family estate established in Chigny-les-Roses since 1874, now led by Frédérique, 5th generation. Self-taught, Frédérique joined the estate at 21 and worked alongside her father for five years before taking over shortly after his passing, with the support of her husband Hugues, who is also a grower. The estate’s 8 hectares of vineyards are located exclusively on the Premier Cru terroirs of Chigny-les-Roses, Rilly-la-Montagne, and Ludes.
