From: Côte des Blancs, Champagne, France
Varietal: Chardonnay
Tasting Notes: The Chardonnay grapes come from five plots in the historic heart of Mesnil sur Oger. A compressed bouquet rich in finesse with notes of slate, almond and butter pastry, a floral touch, and linden blossoms. Enormously complex on the palate, perfectly balanced, very subtle, graceful, and gripping.
About. With holdings of old vines in some of the greatest terroirs in the Côte 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 nine hectares of vines, including prime parcels in Le Mésnil sur Oger, Vertus, and Le Mont Aimé. The domaine is certified organic.
