Think out of the box<\/h2>\n

In 1994, while studying in London, Gilles strolled through the streets of London and came across a small wine merchant, not far from Harrods. The latter offers him to taste one of his latest discoveries: a Single Malt Whiskey \u201cTain L’Hermitage Finish\u201d Vintage 78. A story of love at first sight. Right then Gilles promised himself to launch his own range of Ratafias Champenois & Spirit on which he will apply his own twist, his “Champagne Twist”, as soon as he returns to France.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1580458931330{padding-left: 50px !important;}” el_class=”paddz”][vc_column_inner css=”.vc_custom_1580812630610{padding-top: 0px !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/champagne-dumangin.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/champagne-dumangin-ratafia-champenois-3.jpg?id=469) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”]

The daring alliance of the English spirit & French know-how<\/h2>\n

In 2002, Gilles therefore made his first Ratafia Champenois with a very specific idea in mind: to make the fruit sweat. To achieve this, he decided to use a Fine Champenoise (PGI) rectified with a very high alcohol content.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section css=”.vc_custom_1580461130208{margin-bottom: 50px !important;}”][vc_row content_placement=”bottom”][vc_column css_animation=”fadeInLeft” offset=”vc_col-lg-7 vc_col-md-12″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”border-img” css=”.vc_custom_1580812692434{margin-bottom: 50px !important;padding-top: 50px !important;padding-right: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;padding-left: 50px !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/champagne-dumangin.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/bg.jpg?id=15) !important;background-position: 0 0 !important;background-repeat: repeat !important;}”][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInLeft” css=”.vc_custom_1740232970045{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 50px !important;padding-right: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;padding-left: 50px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}”]<\/p>\n

Twice voted Best ratafia in the World<\/h2>\n

Faithful to Lavoisier’s philosophy that “nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed”, the then challenger decides to age its Ratafia Champenois in Nothern C\u00f4tes du Rh\u00f4ne second-hand barrels to give it a tannic touch close to famous “Tain L’Hermitage Finish” that he loves so much. Coupled with an extremely long ageing time, between 6 and 9 years of age for his Traditional Ratafia Champenois, and up to 14 years of age for his Ratafia Champenois Prestige, the star winemaker has transformed his original tests into a masterpiece.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner el_class=”paddz” css=”.vc_custom_1580462715342{margin-right: 35px !important;}”][vc_column_inner css=”.vc_custom_1580812688979{padding-top: 0px !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/champagne-dumangin.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/champagne-dumangin-ratafia-champenois-4.jpg?id=470) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”]
