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 2005 Le Mesnil-sur-Oger "Coeur de Terroir" Brut
Pascal is fortunate to have some very old parcels in the mid-slope of this renowned Grand Cru village. His grandfather consolidated nearly a hectare of vines in “Champ d’Alouettes,” of which Pascal owns 60% of the original holdings. He also has very old vines in “Les Migraines” planted in 1929. From these sites, Doquet selects the best lots and vinifies them for the Coeur de Terroir range and in 2005, it was entirely fermented in used barrels, aged for ten years sur latte and then disgorged in Winter 2015 with 4 grams MCR. It’s Pascal’s most complex wine, showing ginger, anise and blueberry.
