L'avis des experts
A vibrant, textural and precise blanc de blancs with aromas of dried pears, pastry spices and some warm herbs. Medium-bodied with bright acidity. It’s full of verve and focus, with a mineral core mingling with spices and dried pears. A textured and lingering finish. Dosage 3 g/L. Disgorged in October 2023. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.
While the top wines from this imaginative and colourful organic pioneer of the Côte des Blancs can impress, there's a pure and transparent quality to this more affordable cuvée that holds real appeal. From Vertus, Villeneuve and the Mont Aimé, based on the 2019 vintage, it's full of peppery, dynamic energy, with some juicy melon and bitter citrus fruit and a brisk, fine mousse.
Disgorged in December 2023 without dosage, Doquet’s NV Blanc de Blancs Arpège untites the flesh and texture of the clayey sites in Vertus with the mineral profile of Le Mont-Aimé and Villeneuve. With two-thirds of reserve wines dating back to 2012 and the remaining 33% from the 2019 vintage, it soars from the glass with scents of jasmine, grapefruit, nectarine and plums. On the palate, it's medium-bodied with a compact and taut profile, elegant mousse, incisive acidity and a long, penetrating finish. Vinified in used oak barrels (one-third) and enameled steel. It’s the most chiseled of the three non-vintage blends.
