Vazart-Coquart Description

Champagne Vazart-Coquart, established in the 19th century, produce only single cru champagnes from their 11-hectare estate in Champagne's largest Grand Cru village, Chouilly. Being the Côte des Blancs, mainly Chardonnay is grown here, with just 4.5-hectares of Pinot Noir planted in the whole village. Only a handful of independent growers in the region can boast ownership of a Pinot Noir plot in Chouilly: and Vazart-Coquart are one of them. Vazart-Coquart were just the third producer to be awarded the highest level of environmental certification in 2012.

Vazart-Coquart Brut Reserve Blanc de Blancs Chouilly Grand Cru NV is an elegant blend of pure Chardonnay with a minimum of 2 years ageing on the lees. A blend of several years, the reserve wines are from a perpetual reserve implemented by Jacques Vazart in 1982. Very limited quantities are produced each year, with maximum annual production at 3,000 bottles. All the grapes come from their own 11 hectare estate in Chouilly.

The current base vintage is 2017 blended with 35% of 2017 and 65% 'Solera' reserve. 'Solera' reserve began in 1982 and is renewed each year with 40% of the new harvest.
