Variety: 67% Chardonnay, 33% Pinot Noir
Location: Côte de Blancs, Champagne, FR
Alcohol: 12.5%

Intense in color and character; “anthocyanes” means pigment, after all. Raspberry, cinnamon spice and clove flavors are present in this rather full-bodied rosé Champagne.

The Pinot Noir is macerated for 48 hours before pressing. It then goes into barrel for at least one year before it is blended with Chardonnay before bottling. Aged 12 months in neutral barrel and steel.

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.
