Description
Pascal Doquet’s 1er Cru Mont Aimé Champagne is a fresh and delicate Blanc de Blancs. It is perfect as an aperitif. Made from grapes grown in the Premier Cru terroir of Coligny, this cuvée is partly aged in oak barrels. On the nose, it offers notes of almonds, dried fruit, lemon and vanilla. The palate is rich and structured, with a mid-palate of ripe fruit and a lovely finish.
