Champagne La Villesenière - PN 170

On the winding left bank of the Marne, in the tranquil village of Boursault, the Michez family has been crafting champagnes that express the soul of their terroir since 1973. Under the La Villesenière label, Laurence and Cyrille Michez are now producing a new generation of wines—deeply rooted in tradition, yet with a contemporary vision of purity and precision. Their philosophy is simple: minimal intervention, maximum listening. The vineyard tells the story; the winemaker simply writes it down.

PN 170 2021 represents a special chapter in that story. This champagne is made entirely from 100% Pinot Noir grapes sourced from old vines (55 years old on average) on the chalky, clay, and sandy soils of Boursault. Slow maturation on the northern slopes creates subtle acidity and natural tension. The wine was vinified and aged entirely in oak, using only the first press juice (Cuvée A). Malolactic fermentation was carried out to bring softness, while gentle filtration was used solely to ensure clarity. With a dosage of just 1 g/L, PN 170 2021 expresses itself in its purest form: powerful, linear, and rooted in its chalky origins. Only 1,299 bottles were produced.
