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 ...).
