Wine & Spirits
"If you like uncompromising Champagne, this wine is a steal. Guillaume Doyard focuses this cuvée on 45-year-old chardonnay vines he farms in Vertus, along with estate parcels in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Avize and Cramant. He ages a portion of the base wine in neutral barrels and, once bottled, en tirage for four years. (The current release is half 2014, the balance from the two prior vintages.) The first pour offers rich, gingery spice, its earthy fruit hinting at apricot and green olive, the long lees aging building textural depths. Come back to it a day later and the wine has opened to a racy purity, lasting with an umami savor and the pale richness of fresh hazelnuts."
