Doyard

Clos de l'Abbaye 2017 | Magnum 150cl

Description

Champagne Doyard's Le Clos de l'Abbaye 2017 cuvée, offered here in magnum, is a champagne of immense finesse and rare aromatic depth.

The Chardonnay used for this cuvée comes from a single half-hectare parcel of vineyard land, surrounded by walls that create a unique micro-climate. This Clos effect, which amplifies the heat, offers a more powerful approach to Côte des Blancs Chardonnays.

This old vineyard, dating back to 1956, produces low grape yields but very concentrated wines. Its exposure, limestone soil and surrounding Clos give this parcel a very early ripening.

This cuvée is vinified entirely in oak barrels aged a minimum of 5 years, with no malolactic fermentation.

The wine is dosed at 2 g/L Extra-Brut to preserve as much of the character and particularities of its terroir as possible.

This cuvée reveals lovely aromas of white and yellow-fleshed fruit and citrus zest. The palate is rich and generous, with a long, mineral finish.

Maison Doyard's cuvée Le Clos de l'Abbaye 2017 is a great wine to accompany refined dishes.

Only 130 magnums have been produced.
