The Champagne House Pascal Doquet is renowned for its commitment to organic farming.

Known to purists and now sought after internationally, the Pascal Doquet house embodies the perfect blend of nature respect and expertise.

The Champagne 1er Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature "Arpège" is a jewel of the Côte des Blancs, designed to capture the very essence of Chardonnay. As a Brut Nature, it stands out for its lack of added sugar after disgorgement, ensuring an authentic and fresh experience, perfect for lovers of non-dosage champagnes. Made exclusively from Premier Cru grapes, this champagne reveals generous aromas and a rich structure while expressing the deep minerality of the unique terroirs of Vertus and Mont Aimé.

This Champagne Blanc de Blancs charms with its golden, bright, and vivid hue. On the palate, citrus, white flower, and white-fleshed fruit aromas dominate, accompanied by mineral nuances and a characteristic saline hint from the Côte des Blancs terroirs. The texture is creamy and elegant, with a lovely length on the palate that leaves an impression of purity and freshness.

Ideal as an aperitif, the Champagne "Arpège" pairs perfectly with fine dishes such as scallops, grilled white fish, or sushi. It also wonderfully complements fresh goat cheese or a citrus tart, highlighting its complexity and freshness.
