Champagne Doyard - Les Lumières 2008

The aim of this vintage is to obtain great taste emotions after a longer time on lath than the rest of the range ( about 10 years minimum ). To do this, we select grapes from our greatest terroirs, 1/3 come from Ay (Pinot noir), and 2/3 come from Mesnil-sur-Oger and Avize (Chardonnay). This bottle only exists in the greatest Champagne vintages (2008 currently, then 2012, 2018, 2019 in the future ...).

THE DOMAIN

A grower-producer for four generations and a winemaker for twelve, the Estate is located in Vertus, a village in the Côte des Blancs. This family-run business comprises over ten hectares of vines in the crus of Vertus, Oger, Mesnil-sur-Oger, Avize, Cramant and Aÿ.

THE VINEYARD

The estate cultivates 11 hectares of vines, primarily in Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards, with 10 hectares of Chardonnay (Vertus, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Avize, Cramant) and 1 hectare of Pinot Noir (Vertus, Aÿ). The vineyard is spread across 54 named plots (averaging 0.20 ha/plot), with an average vine age of 40 years. No replanting is practiced, only the annual replacement of dead vines to preserve the vines' ripeness.

Viticulture is practiced sustainably, with minimal inputs and mechanical soil cultivation, promoting deep root systems and an authentic expression of the terroir. Yields are strictly controlled through permanent Royat cordon pruning.
