Description

The NV Champagne R. Pouillon Grande Vallee Brut is a blend of multiple vintages, with each release offering something new and exciting to champagne lovers.

A blend of parcels from the communes of Avenay, Épernay, Festigny, Mareuil, and Mutigny, it's predominantly Pinot Noir (65%), with 20% Pinot Meunier and 15% Chardonnay. Unusually, rather than a combination of yeast and sugar being added to referment the base wine (and create the bubbles), Fabrice uses unfermented grape juice.

Brightly fruited and with abundant creaminess, it shows wonderful florals and a chalky texture in the mouth, with vibrant acid. A perfect champagne to drink on its own or with food.

95 Points - "Complex and nutty but with fresh strawberry, citrus (orange and white chocolate) and subtle peach. Lots of tiny dancing bubbles, a saline character and 'minerality', dry with fresh strawberry and a yeasty dry finish of precision and excellent length. Terrific." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

Different drop. Good drop

Punches above its weight I tell you what

This is our emblematic-wine as the most approachable. It highlights our regional vision when it comes to Champagne. And its name evokes a geological mosaic, which is the strength of the Marne Valley. Our spirit is expressed by blending and winemaking choices.

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

No, all prices are set at the full discounted dozen rate already.

Most wine retailers list at a single-bottle price and then discount 10–15% when you buy six or twelve. We've taken the opposite approach. Since the overwhelming majority of our orders are already 6 bottles or more, our list price is set for the case buyer from the start. There's no inflated single-bottle price to discount down from.

What that means for you:

- One price, same for everyone — no minimum to hit to unlock the best rate
- No mixed-six gymnastics to qualify for a discount
- Our single-bottle price is typically at or below a traditional retailer's by-the-dozen rate

Put simply: the box discount is already baked into the price.

**And if you find it cheaper elsewhere?** Let us know. If the same wine is available at a lower price at another retailer (including at their mixed-six or by-the-dozen rate) we're happy to match it.

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
