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.
