Here is the irresistible new 2017 ‘Cuvee Ernestine’ by Veuve Doussot.

Veuve Doussot

December 28, 2022

We start our festive tradition at OwenBargreen.com, sharing some of the great producers of Champagne. One of the houses that you might not have heard of from this region, Veuve Doussot is a new brand that was started in 1970 by Georges Joly and his sons. The estate vineyard and cellar are located at Noé-les-Mallets, a charming village in the heart of the Côte-des-Bar. Both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are grown at this vineyard set on limestone and clay. All wines are brought to the United States through Serge Dore selections.

Wines from this house offer some good value and for many years I have loved the ‘Cuvee Ernestine’ from this house, which is their top wine which is aged at least 36 months on the lees before disgorgement. The 2017 Veuve Doussot ‘Cuvee Ernestine’ (OB, 93) is rich and deep, showing the potential of Pinot Noir from this region, with plenty of lemon zest and chalky minerality. It is a stunning wine from this vintage. Learn more about this great small house http://www.champagneveuvedoussot.com/PLAQUETTE-VVE-DOUSSOT-ANG-.pdf and here is my review of the new 2017 Veuve Doussot ‘Cuvee Ernestine’ Champagne.

2017 Veuve Doussot ‘Cuvee Ernestine’ Champagne- Sourced from this site in the Cote-des-Bar, the gorgeous 2017 Veuve Doussot ‘Cuvee Ernestine’ is made from 70% Pinot Noir with the remainder Chardonnay. Disgorged in January 2022, this is already beautifully evolved wine from the 36 months on the lees. Layers of lemon zest dusted brioche combine with ripe Japanese pear, apricot and suggestions of ginger. With a very refined mousse, this is glorious wine to consume now and over the next eight plus years. Drink 2022-2030- 93
