Winemaking in the Doquet family dates to the early 1930s when Pascal's grandfather began making wine. Pascal started working with his parents in 1982 and managed the family estate Doquet-Jeanmaire from 1995-2003 before founding his own domaine in 2004. He farms just under 9 hectares, with more than 5 hectares in Grand Cru sites including Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Certified organic since 2010, Doquet stopped chemical treatments in 2000. Diapason is 100% Chardonnay from Le Mesnil-sur-Oger Grand Cru, blended from multiple vintages with reserve perpétuelle, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and aged minimum 3 years before disgorgement.

Pascal started making wine at his family's estate in 1995 and established Champagne Pascal Doquet in 2004 when his father retired. He farms just under 9 hectares of vines including prime parcels in Vertus, Le Mont Aimé and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Natural farming and dedication to vineyard health is integral to Pascal and the domaine has been certified organic since 2010.

Plant-based treatments are more commonly used as Pascal seeks to reduce his use of even copper and sulfur. He fully believes that his focus on vineyard management allows him to express subtleties of his terroir and to make honest wines. We think you can definitely taste the difference!

Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

RP 94

"The golden-yellow colored NV Grand Cru Le Mesnil sur Oger Diapason displays a deep, intense yet fresh, fine and complex bouquet of great elegance and terroir expression with chalk and citrus notes. Vinified 45% in small oak barrels, this is an intense, fresh and elegant grand cru, and the finish is intense and perfectly ripe but still precise, refined and delicately salty. This is a truly smart assemblage of two contrasting vintages (2008 and 2009) that takes the best of both to compose something new and complete. It's an excellent cuvée indeed." -Robert Parker

Decanter

D 93

"A superb non-vintage blanc de blancs that comes exclusively from the grand cru Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. The wine opens with zippy lemon peel, gooseberry and exotic passion fruit aromas. With time, a lovely mineral/saline depth is revealed, with a creamy texture, pleasantly dense mouthfeel and impressive length. Grapes from the ripe 2015 vintage form the base, with the balance completed with a reserve from solera. The oldest vines date to the 1920s; half was fermented in old barrels and half in tank before ageing for six years and disgorging with a dosage of 3.5g/L."

Champagne

Champagne boasts some of the world’s greatest luxury brands with Krug, Cristal and, of course, Dom Perignon. But it’s also home to hundreds of small dynamic producers—farmers who grow their own grapes (often organically) and make (often with natural methods) tiny amounts of pure and absolutely delicious wine that reflect the individual personalities of their villages and terroirs. Toast with these wines, for sure. But also treat them like the great wines they are: taste, drink, explore!
