Description
Pascal Doquet Coeur de Terroir 2009 Vintage Champagne – Rare 100% Chardonnay Blend from Grand Cru Vineyards
Crafted from century-old vines in Épernay’s prestigious Grand Cru district, this limited-release Champagne embodies meticulous terroir expression. Pascal Doquet’s family legacy spans three generations in “Champ d’Alouettes,” where his 60% share of this historic hectare yields concentrated fruit alongside parcels from Les Migraines (1929 vines) and Coullemets – all hand-harvested at peak ripeness.
Distinctive aging on lees for 12+ years develops unparalleled complexity before ultra-low dosage (2g/L) preserves its mineral-driven character. Expect layers of toasted brioche interwoven with citrus zest and wild blueberry nuances – a textural masterpiece that evolves gracefully across decanting hours.
Ideal for connoisseurs seeking non-vintage alternatives with rare vertical aging potential (current release follows 2005 & 2008 vintages). The 12.5% ABV provides balanced structure without heaviness, making it equally suited for celebratory moments or contemplative sipping after dinner.
Premium Fine & Rare selection – pricing reflects its museum-worthy provenance as one of fewer than 500 bottles bottled annually from Pascal’s oldest Chardonnay holdings.
