"The NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Vend,miaire 1er Cru (2018 base) is an attractive, airy Champagne. Citrus, white flowers, tangerine peel, pear, mint and white pepper are nicely lifted in this soft, easygoing Blanc de Blancs. All the elements are nicely balanced in this edition. Dosage is 4 grams per liter. Disgorged March 3, 2022."

"Disgorged this March, Doyard's NV Brut Blanc de Blancs Cuv,e Vend,miaire (2018 base) incorporates 50% reserve wines. Offering up aromas of sweet citrus fruits, buttery pastry and peach, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and charming, with bright acids, a pretty pinpoint mousse and a mouthwatering finish."

"A graceful Champagne, with a satiny mousse, revealing ripe apricot, mirabelle plum, preserved lemon, white blossoms and a streak of salty minerality enriched by hints of toasted hazelnut and pastry cream, all framed by well-knit, chiseled acidity on the long finish. Disgorged March 2023. Drink now through 2026. 500 cases imported."
