Description
Pascal Doquet Champs Libres Blanc de Blancs is made by Pascal Doquet, a producer in the Côte des Blancs region of Champagne, France. Doquet has been a reference in the region since 1982, when he took over the family vineyard with his wife and sisters. This wine is composed of 100% Chardonnay, a grape variety grown in clay-limestone soils. The vineyard has been certified organic since 2007, reflecting the winery's commitment to sustainable and environmentally friendly practices.
Winemaking
The winemaking process of Pascal Doquet Champs Libres stands out for its focus on terroir purity. Fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks, without filtration or fining, and with a light use of sulphur dioxide. The wine is dosed with only 3 grams per litre of residual sugar, which classifies it as an extra brut. Ageing is 36 months on the lees, which contributes to the wine's complexity and texture. The result is a Champagne that balances freshness, minerality and depth, with a marked expression of its terroir.
Taste
On the palate, Pascal Doquet Champs Libres is distinguished by a vibrant freshness and crisp acidity. Flavours of green apple, lemon and hints of oyster shell predominate, accompanied by elegant minerality. The texture is silky and the bubbles are fine, enhancing its refined character. The finish is long and saline, with an impeccable cohesion that reflects both the precision in winemaking and the richness of the soil in which it is grown. This Champagne is ideal for those seeking a pure and complex expression of Chardonnay in the Champagne region.
