Eye: A nice pale gold hue.
Nose: Yellow and white fruits aromas dominate, before giving way to a very delicate milk chocolate note.
Palate: The liveliness seduces with a nice tonic freshness and an impression of a summer fruit basket. The finish tightens, revealing delicate bitters.

History 

Since 2009, the House has been committed to converting part of its vineyards to Organic Agriculture. In 2016, the P181 cuvée was born.

The registered plot ZE 181, located in the heart of the commune of Verneuil, represents 7 of these 9 hectares in the final blend. The vines are grown on south-facing slopes along the Marne river. It gives its name to this emblematic cuvée.
