The Cuvée Révolution by Doyard is 100% Chardonnay, grown in three small parcels with an average age of 40-year-old, located in the Grand Cru villages of Avize, Le Mesnil, Cramant and Oger, classified as 100% Grand Cru in the renowed Côte des Blancs. No final dosage for this enchanting Champagne.
On a previous disgorgement:
"Based on the 2016 vintage and disgorged early this year, Doyard's NV Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Non Dosé Révolution offers up aromas of citrus oil, freshly baked bread, honeycomb, almonds and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, it's a taut, elegantly textural Champagne with a fine mousse and a long, saline finish. It's another fine rendition of this immensely reliable cuvée."

"The NV Blanc de Blancs Révolution Grand Cru Non-Dosé (2016 base) is 100% Chardonnay, composed of 50% 2016, 30% 2015 and 20% 2014. Rich, deep and layered, the Revolution has a ton to offer. Apricot, peach, spice, crushed flowers and chamomile all take shape as this powerful, vinous Champagne shows off its resonant, expansive personality. Extended time on the lees (48+ months) has added notable complexity. This is one of the most intriguing Champagnes I have tasted from Doyard lately. Terrific. Bottled with no dosage. Disgorged: November 17, 2022."
