Awarded 3 stars by the French wine guide RVF, Pascal Doquet is a go-to name for lovers of precise, vibrant Champagnes made from Chardonnay.

This small, 9-hectare estate based in Vertus cultivates some of Champagne’s finest terroirs organically—including prestigious Côte des Blancs crus like the Grand Cru Mesnil-sur-Oger, as well as the chalky slopes around Vitry-le-François.

Vinification is partly carried out in oak barrels, though never with new wood, and the dosage is always carefully controlled following extended ageing in the cellar. The result: honest, finely crafted Champagnes with long, saline, and characterful finishes.
