Doyard’s latest NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Vendemiaire, disgorged in March 2024 with four grams per liter dosage, is based on the 2019 vintage, with 30% from 2018 and 20% from 2017. Sourced mostly from Vertus (65%), it incorporates fruit from Avize, Oger, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Cramant and is vinified in almost equal parts in stainless steel (60%) and oak. Unfurling from the glass with aromas of peach, toasted nuts and pear mingling with lemon zest, it is full-bodied, ample and rather gastronomic, with vibrant acidity and a pillowy mousse, concluding with an expansive finish.
