Founded in 2004 by Pascal Doquet, who has been making wine since 1982, the domaine is located in the Cote des Blancs. Doquet's family winemaking history dates back to his grandfather in the 1930s. Before establishing his own label, Pascal managed the family domaine, Doquet-Jeanmaire, taking over in 1995.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePascal Doquet farms 8 hectares of vines in Mesnil, Vertus, and Bergers, with vines aged between 37 and 77 years old. The vineyards are primarily planted with Chardonnay, with a small amount of Pinot Noir used for the rosé. Doquet employs organic viticultural methods, harvesting grapes as ripe as possible, typically with potential alcohol levels exceeding 10.5 degrees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe winemaking process is natural and non-interventionist, utilizing only wild yeasts for fermentation. Wines undergo malolactic fermentation in tanks and remain sur lie for five months. Approximately one-third of the production is aged in used oak barrels before secondary fermentation in the bottle. Fining is avoided, and filtration is minimal before release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pascal Doquet range showcases site-specific cuvées that vividly express their unique character.
