R. Pouillon Grande Vallee Brut is a blend of multiple vintages, blending 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, instead of a combination of yeast and sugar being added to referment the base wine, Fabrice uses unfermented grape juice.
To the eye, the robe is a striking gold with amber highlights. The champagne is brightly fruited with abundant creaminess, revealing enticing florals and a chalky texture in the mouth. On the nose, we get subtle hints of ripe fruits (blackcurrant, black cherries) and almond paste, quickly followed by the complementary aromas of Mirabelle plums and peaches on the second attack. Its finish is a delicious combination of roasted and sweet spices. It’s refreshing acidity and complex flavour profile make an excellent complement to seafood, cheese or simply to be enjoyed on its own.
95/100, Gary Walsh, The WineFront
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
