L'échelle des crus arose from negotiations over grape prices: after the winegrowers' revolt in April 1911, houses and delegates from the grand cru villages reached an agreement in Reims in September, resulting in a scale of 194 crus. Eleven were rated 100%: Ambonnay, Avize, Aÿ, Beaumont-sur-Vesle, Bouzy, Cramant, Louvois, Sillery and, for black grapes only, Tours-sur-Marne, Mailly and Verzenay; at the bottom, four villages in the Aisne at 22.55%.

The decree of July 1, 1952 reserved «grand cru» for villages rated 100% and «premier cru» for those rated from 90 to 100%; in 1985, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Oiry, Verzy and Chouilly rose to the top, and the Grand Cru villages numbered seventeen. Mandatory pricing ended in 1990, indicative pricing in 2000; the échelle was abandoned from the 2004 harvest, and the 2010 regulations established the two designations as lists of villages. Today, «Grand Cru» guarantees that all the grapes come from these seventeen villages; the village name is added only if they all come from there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll in the Marne.

At twenty years old, a Champagne made from Chardonnay has usually moved beyond youthful tension toward broader aromas of dried fruit and toast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Cœur de Terroir series brings together Doquet's vintage wines, one per village: Vertus Premier Cru, Le Mont Aimé Premier Cru and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger Grand Cru, the series' only Grand Cru. The name was already in use at the family house, which had given it to its 1989 Blanc de Blancs. Alongside the series, Doquet produces Diapason, the non-vintage Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru from Le Mesnil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the STELT selection, this Cœur de Terroir 2005 is Pascal Doquet's vintage Grand Cru: a Champagne from Le Mesnil with twenty years behind it, to be served with fish in sauce, shellfish or white meats.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pascal Doquet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60097104871749,"sku":"PASDOQ-COEDETER-CHA-05-075","price":180.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/7376\/7237\/files\/Pascal-Doquet-Coeur-de-Terroir-Le-Mesnil-sur-Oger-Grand-Cru-Blanc-de-Blancs-2005-AOC-075l.jpg?v=1794582210"}],"url":"https:\/\/steltwines.com\/en\/collections\/champagne-grand-cru.oembed","provider":"STELT - Vini Pregiati \u0026 Champagne","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
