Doussot Bourdot

History of Champagne Doussot-Bourdot

Founded on a family tradition of winegrowing, Domaine Doussot-Bourdot took a decisive turn in 2021 under the impetus of Billy Doussot. Based in Loches-sur-Ource, this young winemaker chose to break with grape selling in order to create his own Champagnes, marking a new era for the estate. His philosophy? To produce wines that speak of place, far from standardised norms. Drawing on the estate's 8.5 hectares, planted primarily with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Billy crafts single-plot cuvées that embody the soul of the Côte des Bar, a stone's throw from Burgundy.

Terroirs and Vines of Champagne Doussot-Bourdot

Located in the Aube, Domaine Doussot-Bourdot benefits from a unique limestone terroir, where brown soils and the varied exposure of the plots give the wines a distinct identity. The vines, cultivated in Loches-sur-Ource and Essoyes, are tended with a reasoned approach, free from herbicides and insecticides. Billy favours light tillage and controlled ground cover to preserve biodiversity and allow the grape varieties — 7.5 hectares of Pinot Noir and 1 hectare of Chardonnay — to fully express their potential. This respectful viticulture ensures ripe, healthy grapes, the essential foundation for Champagnes of character.

Winemaking at Champagne Doussot-Bourdot

Winemaking at Domaine Doussot-Bourdot is an ode to purity. Each cuvée is crafted from specific plots, vinified and aged for 10 months in 228-litre oak barrels, without yeast additions, fining or filtration. This minimalist approach preserves the integrity of the fruit and the complexity of the terroir. After careful disgorgement, the bottles rest for more than a year in the cellar, developing a rich and balanced texture. These Brut Nature Champagnes, with no dosage, reveal a natural roundness and a depth that captivates lovers of authentic wines.

The Cuvées of Champagne Doussot-Bourdot

Domaine Doussot-Bourdot offers three single-plot cuvées, each reflecting a unique facet of the Côte des Bar terroir. Here are their profiles:

Destins Liés - Pinot Noir & Chardonnay Blend

This cuvée, born from a harmonious blend of 50% Pinot Noir and 50% Chardonnay, is a perfect introduction to the estate's style. Its luminous colour reveals aromas of white fruits, red berries and a creamy touch from barrel ageing. On the palate, the balance between the freshness of the Chardonnay and the structure of the Pinot Noir is striking. Ideal to accompany a mushroom risotto or a roasted poultry, this zero-dosage Champagne offers accessible complexity and a saline finish.

Champ Fremyot - 100% Pinot Noir

From the eponymous plot facing due East, this 100% Pinot Noir Blanc de Noirs captivates with its depth. Notes of black cherry, violet and a hint of spice intertwine in a silky texture with fine tannins. This generous Champagne, marked by a beautiful vinosity, pairs wonderfully with duck breast or aged cheeses. Its richness and tension make it an unmissable choice for Pinot Noir enthusiasts.

Les Moulins - 100% Chardonnay

This Blanc de Blancs, sourced from the Les Moulins plot in Landreville, embodies the freshness and minerality of the limestone terroir. Floral, citrus and hazelnut aromas unfold, supported by a vibrant tension and an elegant finish. Perfect with seafood or grilled fish, this precise and energetic Champagne is a true favourite for lovers of Chardonnay.
