NV Pascal Ponson, 1er Cru, Brut

70% Pinot Meunier, and 15% each Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

Champagne, France

It was fermented in stainless steel and concrete tanks with a natural yeast pied de cuve that originates from yeasts in his vineyards.

This cuvee was aged on its lees for 50 months before being disgorged with a dosage of 7 grams per liter. The nose shows a bright and forward aroma set of yellow plums, apricot, clotted cream, brioche, and apple tart. The palate is moderate in weight with the fruit notes balanced by creamy brioche, apricot danish, and clay minerality. 

"Maxime Ponson’s Champagne will be quick to rise through the ranks of the ‘this bottle is only how much’ Champagne category. This grower Champagne from Premier Cru fruit in the Montagne-des-Reims is a classic example of quality, hand-crafted, brut Champagne"
