Vazart-Coquart

Cuvée Camille | Bottle 75cl

Description

The Camille cuvée from Vazart-Coquart is a rich and intense champagne that stands out because it is the only champagne (excluding rosé champagne) that is not a Blanc de Blancs. The Camille cuvée is made from Chardonnay (30%) from the Grand Cru terroir of Chouilly, as well as Pinot Noir (70%) from a Premier Cru plot called "Les Grandes Terres."

Twenty percent of the wines in this blend come from a solera reserve started in 1982.

The Vazart-Coquart house has chosen old vines with an average age of 30 years for this cuvée.

After two years of aging in the cellars, the champagne is disgorged and dosed at 5g/L.

The Camille Vazart-Coquart cuvée has a pale gold color with slightly green highlights. Its bubbles are fine and lively, forming an elegant cordon.

On the nose, this cuvée offers biscuity aromas with hints of candied lemon, peach, Sichuan pepper, marzipan, and apple. On the second nose, aromas of blueberry, lime blossom, blackcurrant, and peppermint appear.

On the palate, the Camille cuvée is supple and fresh, with a creamy effervescence. It is a champagne that develops notes of ripe white and red fruits, carried by a mineral, iodine-laced freshness and a touch of citrus.

The finish is fruity and tender with a lingering taste of candied fruit and licorice.

Only 3,500 bottles of this cuvée were produced.
