Pascal Doquet

Champagne | Côte des Blancs | Vertus

With holdings of old vines in some of the greatest terroirs in the Cote des Blancs, Pascal Doquet has emerged over the last decade or so as one of the premier vignerons in Champagne. He originally took over his family estate Doquet-Jeanmaire in 1995 and after his father retired, Pascal established his eponymous domaine in 2004. Today he farms just under 9 hectares of vines including prime parcels in Le Mésnil-sur-Oger, Vertus, and Le Mont Aimé.

Pascal Doquet Grand Cru Brut

The Cuvée Grand Cru is another one of these wines that Pascal “found” in the cellar. The last one we had two years ago was a blend of 2003, 2002 and 2001. This one is 2/3 2002 and 1/3 2001, disgorged in 2010, so now 8 years on the cork. It is all from Mesnil vineyards which now make up the “Diapason” bottling. It’s 100% Grand Cru Le Mesnil-sur-Oger from “Champ d’Alouettes” and “Les Migraines.” It was disgorged in Winter of 2010 with 7 grams MCR. It is a mature chardonnay Champagne displaying sandalwood, brioche and ginger.
