It was the first wine conceived for Doquet’s \u003cstrong data-start=\"198\" data-end=\"218\"\u003eCoeur de Terroir\u003c\/strong\u003e series, a collection devoted to individual villages, historic parcels and the distinctive character of their soils.\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"336\" data-end=\"791\"\u003eThe fruit comes from Pascal’s best Premier Cru sites in Vertus, including \u003cstrong data-start=\"410\" data-end=\"496\"\u003eBarrilliers, Nuisats, Vieille Voie, Corvées, Grange au Bar, Les Grues and La Barre\u003c\/strong\u003e. These vineyards are rooted in Cretaceous chalk and clay, soils that give the wine both mineral definition and a broader, more generous texture than the sharply linear Champagnes of nearby Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. The vineyards are certified organic by Ecocert. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"793\" data-end=\"1362\"\u003eThe 2009 blend is composed of \u003cstrong data-start=\"823\" data-end=\"860\"\u003e70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir\u003c\/strong\u003e. The Pinot Noir comes from La Barre and contributes structure, depth and a subtle red-fruit character, while the Chardonnay provides freshness, chalky tension and length. The wine was vinified and matured for approximately 11 months in neutral oak barrels, allowing gradual oxygen exposure and textural development without introducing strong new-oak flavors. Full malolactic fermentation further rounds the acidity and contributes to its creamy, vinous character. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1364\" data-end=\"1812\"\u003eAfter bottling, the Champagne spent an exceptional \u003cstrong data-start=\"1415\" data-end=\"1443\"\u003e12 years aging sur latte\u003c\/strong\u003e before disgorgement. This prolonged contact with the lees developed considerable complexity, richness and fine texture while preserving the mineral energy of the Vertus terroir. It was finished with a very low dosage of approximately 2 grams per liter of MCR, placing it stylistically near Extra-Brut despite the Brut designation. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1814\" data-end=\"2292\"\u003eIn the glass, it is full-bodied and deeply layered, with a fine, persistent mousse. Aromas of ripe apple, preserved lemon and pear are joined by toasted brioche, hazelnut, dried flowers and subtle red-fruit notes. With air, more mature tones of pastry, warm spice, chalk and savory lees emerge. The palate is broad and creamy, balanced by bright acidity and a firm mineral core. The finish is long, dry and saline, with lingering notes of citrus, orchard fruit, toast and chalk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2294\" data-end=\"2659\"\u003eThis is a gastronomic Champagne with the depth and maturity to accompany a full meal. It pairs beautifully with roasted poultry, veal, lobster, scallops, mushroom dishes, truffle risotto, creamy sauces, aged Comté, Gruyère or mature goat cheese. Serve it in a white-wine glass rather than a narrow flute to fully appreciate its developed aromas and layered texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2661\" data-end=\"3399\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2661\" data-end=\"2672\"\u003eGrapes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir\u003cbr data-start=\"2703\" data-end=\"2706\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2706\" data-end=\"2718\"\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e France\u003cbr data-start=\"2725\" data-end=\"2728\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2728\" data-end=\"2739\"\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Champagne\u003cbr data-start=\"2749\" data-end=\"2752\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2752\" data-end=\"2768\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eAppellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Côte des Blancs\u003cbr data-start=\"2784\" data-end=\"2787\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2787\" data-end=\"2799\"\u003eVillage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vertus\u003cbr data-start=\"2806\" data-end=\"2809\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2809\" data-end=\"2828\"\u003eClassification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Premier Cru\u003cbr data-start=\"2840\" data-end=\"2843\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2843\" data-end=\"2855\"\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2009\u003cbr data-start=\"2860\" data-end=\"2863\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2863\" data-end=\"2877\"\u003eVineyards:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barrilliers, Nuisats, Vieille Voie, Corvées, Grange au Bar, Les Grues and La Barre\u003cbr data-start=\"2960\" data-end=\"2963\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2963\" data-end=\"2973\"\u003eSoils:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cretaceous chalk and clay\u003cbr data-start=\"2999\" data-end=\"3002\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3002\" data-end=\"3014\"\u003eFarming:\u003c\/strong\u003e Certified organic by Ecocert\u003cbr data-start=\"3043\" data-end=\"3046\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3046\" data-end=\"3063\"\u003eVinification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Neutral oak barrels\u003cbr data-start=\"3083\" data-end=\"3086\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3086\" data-end=\"3098\"\u003eÉlevage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 11 months in neutral oak\u003cbr data-start=\"3137\" data-end=\"3140\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3140\" data-end=\"3155\"\u003eLees Aging:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 years sur latte\u003cbr data-start=\"3174\" data-end=\"3177\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3177\" data-end=\"3205\"\u003eMalolactic Fermentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003cbr data-start=\"3209\" data-end=\"3212\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3212\" data-end=\"3223\"\u003eDosage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 g\/L MCR\u003cbr data-start=\"3233\" data-end=\"3236\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3236\" data-end=\"3248\"\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.5%\u003cbr data-start=\"3254\" data-end=\"3257\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3257\" data-end=\"3273\"\u003eBottle Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003cbr data-start=\"3279\" data-end=\"3282\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3282\" data-end=\"3292\"\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage Premier Cru Champagne; full-bodied, leesy and mineral-driven\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"67","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52642554642715,"sku":"210000060687","price":124.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/1789\/4171\/files\/gbj16n9fmt9jkpwzoh3y.jpg?v=1784742990","url":"https:\/\/67wine.com\/products\/pascal-doquet-champagne-vertus-coeur-de-terroir-brut-2009-750ml","provider":"67","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
