Franck Pascal
Franck Pascal produces Champagne from the region's classic trio of grapes: Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay. The house's portfolio centers on brut nature and brut rosé expressions, each built from precise blends of these varieties. Réliance Brut Nature and Tolerance Rosé Brut both draw from all three grapes and have been assessed by Decanter and Wine Spectator. Pacifiance Brut Nature, a blanc de blancs anchored in Chardonnay with Pinot Noir, rounds out the core range. These wines reflect the technical discipline Champagne demands: low dosage, careful fruit selection, and extended aging in chalk cellars. The house's focus on brut nature—minimal added sugar—underscores a philosophy of letting fermented fruit speak directly.
