A champagne of committed viticulture

Cuvée P181 takes its name from parcel ZE 181 in Verneuil, one of the few organic vineyards in Champagne since 2009. On this 9-hectare plot, the vines are cultivated with respect for the soil and the plant, according to the principles of organic farming. This cuvée highlights the diversity of Champagne grape varieties in a well-balanced blend:

• 43% Chardonnay - Vinified partly in oak barrels, it brings freshness, elegance and complexity.
• 33% Pinot Meunier - Contributes to the wine's round, fruity character.
• 24% Pinot Noir - Provides structure and aromatic depth.

The cuvée is based on a blend of 30% reserve wines, which enrich the blend to ensure complexity. The whole is aged for 3 years in the cellar before disgorging, with dosage measured at 4 g/L to preserve the purity of the fruit.
