Cuvee Revolution non dose

A dry champagne with long ageing: the grapes for this blanc de blancs come from grand cru vineyards in the Côte de Blancs. Half of this blend are from three consecutive vintages and is fermented in old wood, part has undergone malolactic fermentation, making the wine softer and more supple. The aromas and flavours are rich and fruity, with a lovely dry finish.

Very festive as an aperitif, delicious with a light fish or shellfish dish.

For generations, the Doyard family has cultivated vineyards around Vertus, in the southernmost part of Côte des Blancs. The Doyards have been champagne makers for four generations. While father Yannick had already opted for organic cultivation, son Charles went further and embraced the biodynamic approach, complete with a horse instead of tractors between the vines.

Charles was widely regarded as a talented, visionary winemaker when he passed away unexpectedly in 2017 at the age of 31. His younger brother Guillaume, who was working in marketing at the time, decided to run the domain. He oversees some ten hectares of vineyards in grand cru municipalities such as Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Avize and Cramant and premier cru municipality of Vertus. Chardonnay is the grape planted here, and Doyard also grows a little Pinot Noir at Ay. Some of the grapes are sold to other producers, Doyard itself produces approximately 50,000 bottles per year.
