The 2009 Premier Cru Champagne "Vertus" from de Pascal Doquet is an exceptional cuvée that pays tribute to the exceptional terroir of Vertus, located on the Côte des Blancs. This 2009 vintage benefited from a warm month of August, favouring optimal maturation and thus offering it a beautiful roundness and a pleasant delicacy. This champagne is composed of 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir, from the six best vines of la maison, located mid-slope in the heart of the Vertus terroir. Pascal Doquet chose to carry out malolactic fermentation to bring suppleness to these wines from a mineral and pure terroir. The cuvée was bottled in September 2010 with an Extra-Brut dosage of 2 g/L, thus preserving the unique expression of the terroir of Vertus. This Blanc de Blancs is vinified and aged for 6 months in oak barrels, adding complexity and a slight patina to the Chardonnays tauted with Vertus. The result is an expressive champagne with a long, chalky finish, truly representative of the excellence of Pascal Doquet and the terroir. A must-see for champagne lovers.
