Description

Pie Danse is a cuvée of character by Maxence Janisson. The fruit of handcrafted, committed work on a single, organically farmed parcel, this 100% Pinot Noir champagne expresses all the singularity of its terroir. It is also a cuvée marked by the precision of a passionate winemaker. A vibrant, unpretentious wine that combines intensity, finesse and naturalness.

An organic Pinot Noir, matured with respect for the living world

Cuvée Pie Danse comes from a plot planted in 1981 on 41B rootstock. The mid-slope terroir is composed of brown limestone over heavy clay, giving this Pinot Noir concentration and tension.

The vineyard is cultivated according to the principles oforganic farming, without chemical fertilizers or synthetic products. This respectful approach to soil and plant allows the full identity of the terroir to be revealed.

A precise wine, without inputs or artificial additives

The grapes were harvested at 10.5° in September 2021. Vinification is carried out naturally:

• No enzyming or chaptalization.
• Fermentation in barrel for 15 days at low temperature, to preserve aromatic freshness.
• No malolactic fermentation, to preserve the wine's tension.
• No filtration.
• Gentle racking before bottling.

The wine is then aged for 24 months on laths before disgorging. The liqueur d'expédition is dosed at 1 g/L and prepared by hand ("minute"), for a pure expression of fruit and terroir.
