Produced entirely from Chardonnay, this limited cuvée combines the power and concentration of the 2005 vintage with the chalky precision, salinity and long-lived structure for which Le Mesnil is celebrated.\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"422\" data-end=\"902\"\u003eThe fruit comes from \u003cstrong data-start=\"443\" data-end=\"464\"\u003eChamp d’Alouettes\u003c\/strong\u003e, a mid-slope lieu-dit situated in the heart of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. The parcel’s chalk-rich, freely draining soils encourage the vines to develop deep root systems, giving the finished Champagne remarkable mineral intensity and depth. Pascal Doquet selected fruit from some of the estate’s finest vines in this parcel to produce a wine that reflects the identity of the site with exceptional clarity. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"904\" data-end=\"1479\"\u003eThe wine was vinified and matured partly in oak barrels, adding texture and subtle breadth without overwhelming its mineral character. Malolactic fermentation was avoided to preserve the natural freshness and tension of the Chardonnay. It then spent an exceptionally long period aging on its lees in bottle, developing the fine mousse, creamy texture and complex mature aromas associated with carefully cellared vintage Champagne. The final dosage is approximately \u003cstrong data-start=\"1369\" data-end=\"1390\"\u003e3 grams per liter\u003c\/strong\u003e, placing it firmly in the dry Extra-Brut category. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1481\" data-end=\"1891\"\u003eIn the glass, Champ d’Alouettes 2005 displays a luminous deep golden color and a fine, persistent bead. The bouquet opens with lemon oil, candied citrus peel, baked apple and ripe pear, followed by layers of toasted brioche, hazelnut, almond, dried white flowers and subtle honeycomb. With air, notes of crushed chalk, oyster shell, smoke and warm spice emerge, revealing the complexity of extended lees aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1893\" data-end=\"2342\"\u003eThe palate is structured, vinous and beautifully concentrated. Flavors of preserved lemon, yellow apple, Mirabelle plum and citrus zest are balanced by toasted nuts, biscuit and delicate spice. A firm chalky backbone runs through the wine, providing freshness and precision despite the richness of the mature vintage. The Extra-Brut dosage keeps the finish dry, focused and saline, with lingering notes of citrus, roasted hazelnut and mineral chalk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2344\" data-end=\"2637\"\u003eThis is a fully developed, gastronomic Champagne that is drinking beautifully now. Its depth and maturity make it an excellent choice for collectors, special occasions or anyone looking to experience an aged, single-vineyard Grower Champagne from one of the Côte des Blancs’ greatest terroirs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2639\" data-end=\"2988\"\u003eServe moderately chilled rather than ice-cold, preferably in a generous Champagne or white-wine glass, to allow its mature aromas and layered texture to unfold. It pairs beautifully with oysters, scallops, langoustines, lobster, turbot, sole in beurre blanc, roast chicken with mushrooms, truffle risotto, aged Comté, Parmesan or mature goat cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2990\" data-end=\"3633\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2990\" data-end=\"3000\"\u003eGrape:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Chardonnay\u003cbr data-start=\"3016\" data-end=\"3019\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3019\" data-end=\"3031\"\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e France\u003cbr data-start=\"3038\" data-end=\"3041\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3041\" data-end=\"3052\"\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Champagne\u003cbr data-start=\"3062\" data-end=\"3065\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3065\" data-end=\"3074\"\u003eArea:\u003c\/strong\u003e Côte des Blancs\u003cbr data-start=\"3090\" data-end=\"3093\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3093\" data-end=\"3105\"\u003eVillage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Le Mesnil-sur-Oger\u003cbr data-start=\"3124\" data-end=\"3127\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3127\" data-end=\"3146\"\u003eClassification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grand Cru\u003cbr data-start=\"3156\" data-end=\"3159\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3159\" data-end=\"3172\"\u003eVineyard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Champ d’Alouettes\u003cbr data-start=\"3190\" data-end=\"3193\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3193\" data-end=\"3205\"\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2005\u003cbr data-start=\"3210\" data-end=\"3213\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3213\" data-end=\"3223\"\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blanc de Blancs Extra-Brut\u003cbr data-start=\"3250\" data-end=\"3253\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3253\" data-end=\"3270\"\u003eVinification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Partly vinified and matured in oak barrels\u003cbr data-start=\"3313\" data-end=\"3316\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3316\" data-end=\"3344\"\u003eMalolactic Fermentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003cbr data-start=\"3347\" data-end=\"3350\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3350\" data-end=\"3365\"\u003eLees Aging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extended aging in bottle; approximately 15 years reported\u003cbr data-start=\"3423\" data-end=\"3426\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3426\" data-end=\"3437\"\u003eDosage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 3 g\/L\u003cbr data-start=\"3457\" data-end=\"3460\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3460\" data-end=\"3472\"\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 12.5%\u003cbr data-start=\"3492\" data-end=\"3495\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3495\" data-end=\"3511\"\u003eBottle Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003cbr data-start=\"3517\" data-end=\"3520\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3520\" data-end=\"3537\"\u003eAvailability:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extremely limited\u003cbr data-start=\"3555\" data-end=\"3558\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"67","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52642555756827,"sku":"210000060688","price":295.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/1789\/4171\/files\/vltvfchobzqzefy3egzz.jpg?v=1784742995","url":"https:\/\/67wine.com\/products\/pascal-doquet-champagne-le-mesnil-sur-oger-brut-champ-dalouettes-extra-brut-2005-750ml-introductory-price","provider":"67","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
