| “I have a gut feeling that Monsieur Doquet is right on the cusp of superstardom in the firmament of small growers in the region …”
John Gilman, View From The Cellar |
| "Pascal Doquet's organic Champagnes are of great precision and among the very best that the Côte des Blancs has to offer. Highly recommended."
Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate |
| “The vineyards are planted with 95% chardonnay and 5% pinot noir, and they lie in several different areas across a diversity of soil types. A little over five hectares are in the Côte des Blancs, all at the southern end: 1.67 hectares are in the grand cru of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, lying on very chalky soil, and more than two hectares are in Vertus and Bergères-les-Vertus, where the deeper soils contain more clay as a result of being part of a former estuary. Just south of Bergères, Doquet has 1.2 hectares of vines on Le Mont Aimé, an outlying butte of yellow chalk, silex and sand that is completely different in its geological makeup than the rest of the Côte des Blancs. The remainder of the vines, nearly 3.5 hectares, are in the communes of Bassuet and Bassu, in the Perthois region near Vitry-le-François, where the slopes are built on grey clay mixed with chalk …. Pressing takes place in a pneumatic press, and only the cuvée is used, with the taille sold to the négoce. However, within the cuvée, which is normally the first three pressings, Doquet retains only the first two, which he considers to be of higher quality than the third.”
Peter Liem, ChampagneGuide.net |
| | | "The NV Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru Arpège is a gorgeous, sculpted Champagne built on precision. Crushed rocks, slate, green pears and citrus jump from the glass as this vibrant Champagne shows off its tense, pulsating personality. This is a gorgeous Champagne from Pascal Doquet."
