P181, A celebration of nature
Inspired by nature, Maison Canard-Duchêne became the first Grande Maison to produce an organic champagne in 2009. Cuvée P181 takes its name from the parcel of land, ZE 181, from which it is partly derived. This 9-hectare vineyard, located in Verneuil, is carefully cultivated and certified organic.
A blend of three Champagne grape varieties, including Chardonnays vinified in oak barrels, Cuvée P181 combines freshness, complexity and structure. Its Extra-Brut dosage reveals the purity of the fruit and all its aromatic potential.

“P181 Organic Champagne is a unique wine and veritable ode to nature. It is the result of a collaboration with several of our partner winegrowers who, since the early 2000s have, like us, wanted to play a part in change and make a long-term commitment to sustainability.”
Cynthia Fossier, Cellar Master
