Wine Description for Grand Bouquet Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Chouilly Grand Cru 2017 3000ml Double Magnum by Vazart-Coquart & Fils
- Character
- This Blanc de Blancs from the Grand Cru vineyard site Chouilly embodies the purist elegance of the Côte des Blancs. As an Extra Brut with minimal dosage, it lays bare the mineral soul of the terroir without artifice. The Double Magnum promises a slowed, harmonious maturation – a format for special occasions that imparts additional complexity and longevity to the Champagne. The 2017 vintage, following a frosty spring, produced concentrated, ripe grapes with pronounced freshness.
- Terroir & Origin
- Vazart-Coquart belongs to the authentic Récoltant-Manipulant producers of Champagne – growers who work exclusively with their own grapes. In Chouilly, one of the most prestigious Chardonnay villages on the Côte des Blancs, the vines are rooted in chalky soils that deliver crystalline minerality and vibrant tension. This geological signature shapes the character profoundly: finesse over power, precision over opulence.
- Grape Variety & Vinification
- Chardonnay from Grand Cru vineyard sites reaches its noblest expression here. The family tradition at Vazart-Coquart stands for respectful handling of the harvest and artisanal vinification. The Extra Brut dosage of less than 6 grams residual sugar per litre underscores a commitment to authenticity and terroir transparency. In the large format, the Champagne matures more slowly and develops finer perlage and greater aromatic depth – a gain in complexity that connoisseurs truly appreciate.
- Food Pairing Suggestions
- The taut minerality and restrained dosage make this Champagne an ideal companion for raw oysters, scallops or sashimi. It also displays its full pedigree alongside grilled turbot, goat’s cheese or caviar. The Double Magnum is predestined for festive tables, where it maintains its freshness over hours and bestows unforgettable moments upon a larger gathering.
