Paul Gadiot’s Précurseur Extra Brut 2016 is a Premier Cru Champagne from the Ponson family in Montagne de Reims. Made from 50% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Noir, and 25% Meunier, it's biodynamically farmed, fermented with native yeasts, and aged 87 months on lees before disgorgement with zero dosage.

The 2016 shows richness and purity—apricot, almond, dried flowers, and creamy texture over a dense mineral core. A striking, low-intervention vintage Champagne with depth and energy.
