The Champagne Vazart-Coquart Spécial Gourmet Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Sec is a unique cuvée made exclusively from 100% Chardonnay grapes grown in the Grand Cru vineyards of Chouilly in the Côte des Blancs. Renowned for its rich, sweet character, this champagne pairs beautifully with Asian dishes and showcases the estate's mastery of the Blanc de Blancs style. Crafted from the Grand Cru terroir, the wine undergoes vinification in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures to preserve the freshness and minerality of the Chardonnay. Incorporating 25% réserve perpétuelle, a perpetual reserve system established by Jacques Vazart in 1982, the cuvée gains additional complexity and depth. With a dosage of 30 g/L, it is classified as a Sec champagne, offering a sweet and indulgent profile. The nose reveals rich aromas of dried and candied fruits, tropical fruits, and subtle spices. On the palate, it delivers a smooth, creamy texture with flavors of orange, exotic fruits, and a delicate sweetness, finishing fresh and elegant with spicy and mineral nuances. The Spécial Gourmet Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Sec exemplifies Champagne Vazart-Coquart’s dedication to producing refined and expressive champagnes that reflect the unique character of Chouilly’s Grand Cru vineyards.
Champagne Vazart-Coquart reflects generations of dedication and innovation, crafted in the Grand Cru village of Chouilly since the 1950s. Today, Jean-Pierre Vazart continues his family's legacy, combining traditional methods with forward-thinking practices like organic viticulture and the use of indigenous yeasts to enhance the character of their Champagnes. Known for their precision and versatility, Vazart-Coquart Champagnes are enjoyed globally, from Belgium to Japan, and even aboard ships navigating Cape Horn. Among their distinctive offerings is the "Special Gourmet," a Champagne aged over a decade, perfectly suited to foie gras and blue-veined cheeses. Meanwhile, their no-dosage and extra-brut cuvées shine alongside seafood. In 2024, Champagne enthusiasts can look forward to certified organic cuvées, a new single-plot Champagne (AD191, vintage 2016), and a fresh label design, underscoring their commitment to quality and evolution. From vineyard to glass, every detail speaks to the artistry and passion of this family-run Domaine.
