Where his Arpège focuses on Premier Cru terroir, Champs Libres casts a broader net, assembling a cuvée of genuine complexity and breadth. The 2018 base was fermented in tank with full malolactic fermentation to soften the vintage's naturally high acidity while preserving freshness and mineral definition. Finished at approximately 2–3 g\/L dosage, the Extra Brut style keeps the wine focused, dry, and expressive. Rated 92 points by James Suckling and 90 by The Wine Advocate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe nose is vivid and refined: warm apple, baked pear, and citrus open to white flowers, orange peel, pastry spice, and a subtle touch of nougat. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and finely textured — delicate bubbles, lively acidity, and a distinctly chalky, saline mineral character. Fresh green apple, citrus, and lightly savory pastry lead into a clean, energetic, and persistent finish. James Suckling calls it \"laser-focused… with lively energy and a delicious finish.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cem\u003eJames Suckling 92 • Wine Advocate 90 — \"A vivid, crisp and laser-focused Blanc de Blancs with aromas of warm apples, baked pears and pastry spices… lively energy and a delicious finish.\" — James Suckling\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pascal Doquet, Côte des Blancs, Champagne, France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Vintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Champagne\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard Sources:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vertus, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Villeneuve, Mont Aimé, Bassuet \u0026amp; Bassu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Chardonnay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blanc de Blancs, Extra Brut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDosage:\u003c\/strong\u003e ~2–3 g\/L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFermentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tank; full malolactic fermentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFarming:\u003c\/strong\u003e Certified Organic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm apple, baked pear, citrus, white flowers, orange peel, pastry spice, nougat, chalky minerality, saline finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest Paired With:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oysters, shellfish, sushi, grilled fish, roast chicken, soft-ripened cheeses, aged goat cheese\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e92 points from James Suckling.
