Champagne Vazart Coquart & Fils Blanc de Blancs Brut Réserve Grand Cru NV
Côte des Blancs, Champagne, FranceJean-Pierre Vazart is 3rd generation winemaker at his family's Chouilly estate, founded by his grandparents Louis and Marie. With average vine age over 30 years, and sustainable viticulture (certified organic and HVE), they are making concentrated GC champagnes. This bottle is approximately 35% from 2017, with the majority from perpetual reserves that began in 1982. It was fermented in stainless with partial MLF, and disgorged in February 2021 with 6.5 g/L. For all its ample and old reserve wines, this showed a lovely seamless freshness across the creamy, generous form, with green apple, deep chalk, and the density cut with crystalline lemon. Surprisingly buoyant for all its riches, this is quite well made and showing very well right now.Tasted: 10 November 2023Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $104.00 | 750ml | private wine stores |
