Tāpat kā daudzus citus, kuri apmetas Šampaņā no citām vietām, Deiviju Dosnonu (Davy Dosnon) pilnībā savaldzinājusi Burgundija. Savu vīndarītavu viņš izvēlējās ar nodomu – Aubes reģionā, kas atrodas tikai 40 km attālumā no Šablī. Kā var nojaust viņa vīnu garšā, it īpaši Recolte Blanche, šī atrašanās vieta nozīmē to, ka teruāram ir daudz vairāk kopīgā ar Burgundiju nekā ar Šampaņu. Dosnons Burgundijā sadarbojas ar Rossignol-Trapet, bet Šampaņā ar Serge Mathieu un Moutard Père et Fils. Vīndarītava tika dibināta 2009. gadā. Dosnonam pašam pieder 2 hektāri Avirey-Lingey, taču viņš iepērk vīnogas arī no kaimiņos esošā 5 hektārus lielā vīna dārza (tāpēc arī N.M. statuss). Gadā Dosnons saražo 50 000 pudeļu vīna. Visi šampanieši tiek fermentēti mazās, lietotās mucās, bet pēc tam izturēti 20-45 mēnešus lietotās mucās. Tradīcija izturēt vīnus vīndaru mucās arī nāk no Burgundijas.

The tasting notes of Dosnon Récolte Noire reveal a complex bouquet of ripe red fruits, notably cherries and strawberries, complemented by delicate hints of toast and brioche, reflecting its aging on lees. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with a fine mousse and a crisp acidity that leads to a long, refined finish, showcasing the balance and depth of this Pinot Noir-driven Champagne.

This Champagne pairs wonderfully with robust dishes such as roasted duck or venison, where its structure and depth can stand up to the richness of the meat, enhancing the flavors of both the food and the Champagne. It also complements the simplicity of sushi and sashimi, where its acidity and fruitiness cut through the richness of the fish, creating a harmonious and elevated dining experience.
