Description
What kind of wine it is
Champagne Arpége Blanc De Blancs 1er Cru Extra Brut by Pascal Doquet enhances the identity of Chardonnay through rigorous organic management. The wine displays a straw yellow hue, enriched with golden highlights and enlivened by a fine, persistent perlage. The aromatic profile is clear, intertwining fruity and floral notes with well-integrated toasted nuances. On the palate, the choice of Extra Brut dosage ensures a dry, clean sip, characterised by vibrant freshness, pronounced minerality and excellent overall balance.
Where it comes from
The grapes are grown in Pascal Doquet's vineyards located in Vertus, at the southern end of the renowned Côte des Blancs. This area, a key part of the Champagne region, is known for its geological features that impart great tension and finesse to the grapes. The agronomic management adopts organic farming practices, promoting viticulture that respects natural rhythms. Thanks to its Premier Cru classification, the area gives the wine a clear territorial character, expressed through deep minerality and precise structure on the palate.
How it is produced
Vinification faithfully follows the principles of the Traditional Method, a cornerstone for defining the quality and complex aromatic structure of the cuvée. The slow ageing on the lees shapes the wine's elegance and ensures excellent ageing potential in the cellar. Served at a temperature between 6 and 8 °C, this sparkling wine best expresses its gustatory tension, pairing perfectly with fish starters, shellfish and selected cheeses, offering a balanced and highly enjoyable combination.
