Cose Perseval R23

Cose is a tiny négociant project run by Victor Allier and Gil Conejo — two passionate advocates for a more transparent, terroir-driven approach to Champagne who source grapes from growers they trust and vinify with minimal intervention. For this cuvee, they worked with Thomas Perseval, whose family farms the La Pucelle vineyard in Chamery — a Premier Cru village in the Montaçne de Reims, where organically farmed Pinot Meunier produces wines of remarkable depth and character.

La Pucelle is a single-vineyard expression of 100% Pinot Meunier — Champagne's most underrated variety, historically dismissed as a blending grape but capable of producing wines of extraordinary freshness, complexity, and personality when it comes from the right place and the right hands. Chamery's Premier Cru soils give the wine structure and minerality; the organic farming gives it purity; and Cose's light-touch winemaking lets the vineyard speak without interference.
