Description
What kind of wine it is
Doyard Champagne 1er Cru Blanc de Blancs Vendemiaire Brut is a rigorous Traditional Method wine that precisely expresses the typical character of its region. Made exclusively from Chardonnay, it appears in the glass with a straw yellow hue, brightened by lively golden reflections and a fine perlage. The bouquet opens with fragrant fruity and floral notes, well integrated with characteristic yeast aromas. On the palate, it offers an elegant sip, with excellent structure and a long, persistent finish, qualities widely recognised by international critics.
Where it comes from
Doyard's Champagne originates from prestigious Premier Cru vineyards located in the renowned villages of Vertus, Avize, Oger, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Cramant. The winery manages its plots with a focus on the highest quality raw materials. The grapes come from old vines over forty years old, ensuring naturally low yields and a deep aromatic concentration. These historic parcels allow the creation of a Blanc de Blancs aimed at finesse, with a clean profile and a solidity that elegantly accompanies shellfish, sushi and cheeses.
How it is produced
Vinification brings out the best in the raw material through fermentation in oak barrels, a process that immediately adds depth to the must. The prise de mousse strictly follows the Traditional Method, ensuring a harmonious development of effervescence within the bottle. The wine then matures in the cellar with a minimum ageing of four years: this extended period on the lees defines the creamy texture on the palate and enhances its enveloping character. The final result is a Brut of great precision, with a refined flavour profile and a harmonious finish.
History and Curiosities
The Vendemiaire cuvée, produced by the Doyard house in Vertus, is a Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru that embodies the refined elegance of its region. Made from old Chardonnay vines, this Champagne is born from meticulous vinification in oak barrels and aged for at least four years on the lees according to the traditional method. Multi-award-winning by international critics, this elegant Brut highlights the artisanal mastery of Yannick and Guillaume, offering an extremely fine perlage and an aromatic complexity capable of making every tasting special.
