Description
The Vertus cuvée is a Premier Cru Champagne from Pascal Doquet that showcases the exceptional terroir of Vertus. This blanc de blancs is produced in the heart of the Côte des Blancs. It is a Champagne crafted from a selection of the estate’s finest vines on mid-slope plots, right at the heart of the terroir. Vertus is a truly great Champagne: expressive, supple and nuanced, with a mature, complex palate (white pepper, mint) and a long, salty, chalky finish.
