A graceful Champagne, with a satiny mousse, revealing ripe apricot, mirabelle plum, preserved lemon, white blossoms and a streak of salty minerality enriched by hints of toasted hazelnut and pastry cream, all framed by well-knit, chiseled acidity on the long finish.
The sparkling wines of Champagne have been revered by wine drinkers for hundreds of years, and even today they maintain their reputation for excellence of flavor and character, and are consistently associated with quality, decadence, and a cause for celebration. Their unique characteristics are partly due to the careful blending of a small number of selected grape varietals, most commonly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. These grapes, blended in fairly equal quantities, give the wines of Champagne their wonderful flavors and aromas, with the Pinot Noir offering length and backbone, and the Chardonnay varietal giving its acidity and dry, biscuity nature. It isn't unusual to sometimes see Champagne labeled as 'blanc de blanc', meaning it is made using only Chardonnay varietal grapes, or 'blanc de noir', which is made solely with Pinot Noir.
France, often regarded as the heart of the wine world, boasts a rich history, diverse terroirs, and a captivating variety of grape varietals. From the renowned vineyards of Bordeaux to the picturesque landscapes of Burgundy, France offers a wine lover’s dream journey. Whether you’re new to the world of wine or a seasoned enthusiast looking […]
The beautiful rolling hillsides of the Champagne region of France have, for hundreds of years, been producing many of the world's most famous wines. The sparkling white wines to come out of Champagne's prestigious wineries have conquered the world, and are drank in celebration across the globe. The vast majority of the region is under vine, and grows predominantly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grape varietals, which are usually blended together by master wine-makers in order to make their recognizable and widely loved produce. The north-easterly region of Champagne has a relatively cool climate, and quite a lot of rainfall, making it far from ideal for ripening grapes. However, the presence of heavily forested areas in the region helps maintain a balanced temperature, and the generations of expertise the wineries hold clearly produces excellent results in spite of the climatic problems.

A restrained but highly complex nose is comprised by ample yeast character on the aromas of brioche, baked apple and soft citrus scents. There is a really lovely mouth feel to the rich flavors that display an abundant mousse, indeed this is almost foamy, yet it is quite fine while delivering excellent length on the moderately dry finish that delivers the same outstanding complexity as the nose. This is a really interesting effort as it's at once full-bodied yet refined and it's evident that ample reserve stocks were used in this cuvée. Moreover, it's extremely difficult to find this level of quality for the price and overall, this is highly recommended.

The NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Cuvee Vendemiaire 1er Cru is soft, open-knit and wonderfully inviting. Citrus, white flowers, almonds and gently spiced notes are nicely woven together in this pretty, understated Champagne from Doyard. A touch of oak adds nuance without overpowering the wine's energy and precision. The current release is 50% 2013, 30% 2012 and 20% 2011, mostly from old vines in Vertus, with touches of fruit from a number of Grand Cru villages. This is a terrific showing.

Doyard’s new NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Vendémiaire, disgorged in October 2025 with a dosage of four grams per liter, is based on the 2020 vintage and opens in the glass with aromas of nectarine, Granny Smith apple, carrot seed oil and freshly baked bread mingled with hints of orange. The palate is medium- to full-bodied and elegantly muscular, structured around a crisp core of fruit and bright acids, animated by a pinpoint mousse and concluding with a saline finish. As ever, the cuvée derives predominantly from Vertus, complemented by fruit from Avize, Oger, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Cramant, and is vinified in roughly equal parts in stainless steel and seasoned oak.

The first of the wines from Doyard, the NV Champagne 1er Cru Blanc de Blancs Vendemiaire Brut is assertive with aromas of tangerine, tarragon, sour apple, and fresh bread dough. The palate is clean and has decent concentration for an entry wine, with lime zest, pear, and a chalky texture. It is dry and has a savory touch that can carry as an aperitif or at the table. Drink over the next 8-10 years.
Winery Notes
An incisive, vinous Champagne that shows gorgeous notes of citrus peel, almond, oyster shells, and blood orange. Texturally elegant, this wine is downright electric with its chiseled and deeply concentrated mid-palate. The finish displays a magical tension between the wine’s intensity and its saline-infused core. A triumph.
