Pascal Doquet ‘Arpege’ Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru Brut, Champagne, France (750ml)

WINEMAKER’S NOTES:

The chardonnay for Arpge comes from Vertus, Villeneuve and Mont Aimthe grapes that are not in the Coeur de Terroir series. There is substantial reserve wine in the blend, preserved in enamel tanks to maintain freshness. Aromas of spice, black tea and pear dominate the flinty-silex soils from the Mont Aim and lend smokiness and depth to the structure.
