Champagne Pascal Doquet - Champagne 1er Cru - Anthocyanes Extra-Brut - Rosé

Wine:

The Anthocyanes Rosé Extra-Brut Champagne Premier Cru is a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, vinified partly as a macerated rosé (56%). It’s a wine of striking aromatic precision and textural finesse. Generous and intense, it delivers beautifully ripe fruit on the palate. This is a vividly expressive, incredibly juicy rosé with a subtle tannic touch that remains elegant throughout. A gastronomic rosé, made for the table.

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.
