Pascal Doquet Champagne Extra Brut Champs Libres NV

$6699

Ask Pascal Doquet about his winemaking and he'll change the subject. What happens in the cellar, he'll tell you, is frankly boring compared to what's going on out in the vines — which is a refreshing thing to hear in a region that loves to talk technique. He farms just under nine hectares in the Côte des Blancs, certified organic since 2010, with parcels in Vertus, Le Mont Aimé and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Champs Libres is his Premier Cru Blanc de Blancs: all Chardonnay, fermented in steel, aged long on the lees, and finished Extra Brut so there's almost no sugar to hide behind. It's chalk and citrus and tension, the kind of Champagne that gets more interesting the longer it sits in the glass. Doquet owns some of the best real estate in Champagne and somehow still flies under the radar. Take advantage.

More about Pascal Doquet

Pascal Doquet owns some of the choicest parcels in Champagne, in premier and grand cru sites like Vertus and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger in the Côte de Blancs. His work is meticulous. His wines are fabulous. Why are they still so under the radar?

He’s a winemaker who would rather not talk about his winemaking techniques — what goes on in the cellar is frankly boring, compared to the ever-changing happenings in the vines. The estate has been certified organic since 2010, but Pascal’s had a passion for sustainable, organic and biodynamic viticulture much longer.

Unsurprisingly, when the grapes are selected for harvest (and only the best, most pristine fruit is), the name of the cellar game is restraint. A gentle pressing, indigenous yeast fermentation, and minimal bâtonnage are standard, and all cuvées are aged for a minimum of three years.

The recipe is right, but do the Champagnes taste great? Yes they do. They marry intensity, luxurious richness, and the personalities of his fabulous terroirs.

Flatiron's Take

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Raw oysters, sushi and sashimi, a plate of jamon, or fried chicken — the low dosage handles salt beautifully.

Tasting Profile

Bone-dry sparkling white, light-bodied and taut. Green apple, lemon and a distinct chalky, oyster-shell minerality. Very little sweetness — crisp and mouthwatering.
