Pie Danse is a cuvée with character from Maxence Janisson. The result of artisanal, dedicated work on a single organically farmed plot, this 100% Pinot Noir champagne expresses all the uniqueness 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, cultivated with respect for life
The Pie Danse cuvée comes from a plot planted in 1981 on 41B rootstock. The terroir, located halfway up the hillside, rests on brown limestone soils over heavy clay, which give this Pinot Noir concentration and tension.
The vineyard is cultivated according to the principles oforganic farming, without chemical fertilizers or synthetic products. This approach, which respects the soil and the plant, allows the terroir's identity to fully express itself.
A precise wine, without additives or artifice
The grapes were harvested at 10.5° in September 2021. Vinification is carried out naturally:
- No enzymes or chaptalization.
- Cold fermentation in barrels for 15 days to preserve aromatic freshness.
- No malolactic fermentation, in order to preserve the wine's tension.
- No filtration.
- Gentle racking before bottling.
The wine is then aged for 24 months on slats before disgorging. The dosage is 1 g/L and prepared in the traditional way ("minute") to ensure the pure expression of the fruit and its terroir.
