ABOUT THE WINE

Premier Cru is Ponson's traditional, Meunier-led Champagne, sourced exclusively from organically farmed Premier Cru vineyards in the Petite Montagne de Reims. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay complete the blend, bringing additional structure and freshness.

Whole-cluster basket pressing to extract clean, delicate juice.
Primary Fermentation: Raised predominantly in stainless steel tanks to preserve bright fruit purity, tension, and citrus/orchard aromatics, with a small portion aged in oak to add subtle breadth, texture, and spice.

Most of the base wine is raised in stainless steel to preserve bright fruit purity, tension, and citrus/orchard aromatics, with a small portion in oak to add subtle breadth, texture, and spice. The wine remains on the lees for three years to bring out complexity. The Extra Brut bottling receives a low dosage, allowing the wine's fruit and chalky character to remain clear. Enjoy it as an aperitif or alongside oysters, seafood, or roast chicken.
