Vazart-Coquart

Cuvée 82/16 | Bottle 75cl

Description

This 82/16 cuvée comes from the Réserve Perpétuelle of Maison Vazart-Coquart. This magical blend incorporates 35 vintages, from 1982 to 2016, hence the name 82/16. It is sure to delight the most discerning connoisseur.

With each harvest, Jean-Pierre Vazart selects the most representative Chardonnays of the year to include in the Réserve Perpétuelle. This cuvée reflects more than 30 years of life in the Grand Cru vineyards of the Chouilly estate. 40% of this perpetual reserve is renewed each year.

The wines are kept in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats to preserve freshness and perfectly regulate oxidation. Malolactic fermentation has been completed. For this edition, Jean-Pierre Vazart has chosen not to dose his cuvée. It is therefore a Brut Nature.

On the nose, this cuvée remains discreet for the first few minutes. But as the minutes go by, secondary aromas of dried fruit, vanilla and white flowers emerge.

On the palate, this is a very fine champagne, offering an aromatic palette ranging from yellow fruit to vanilla, with hints of minerality. The finish is superb, long, fleshy and elegant.

This cuvée 82/16 from Maison Vazart-Coquart is a perfect match for gourmet dishes such as white fish in sauce.
