With holdings of old vines in some of the greatest terroirs in the Cote de 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. This premier cru site is certified organic by Ecocert.
