Pouillon's Grande Vallée Extra-Brut cuvée is a superb introduction to the wine estate. It is a blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. This cuvée is aged in oak barrels and foudres to give the wine a beautiful patina. It is a perfect reflection of Pouillon's fine, gourmet style, which is evident in every one of his champagne cuvées. The champagne is very lightly dosed for a brut, and the balance is perfect.
Philippe Mischler, sommelier at Mundovin: The champagnes from the R.Pouillon wine estate are real favorites. They impressed me, especially the cuvée Réserve for its marvelous aromatic expression. Floral notes, a vinous side and a very enveloping mouthfeel. A cuvée Réserve Brut sans année that rivals the world's finest champagnes. Fabrice Pouillon, the current winemaker at the wine estate, has made remarkable progress in the development of his champagnes.
On the nose, the wine opens with notes of acacia, pine nuts and honey. Hints of quince jelly, candied pear and dried fruit gradually emerge. The nose reveals a rare delicacy.
The palate is silky, without any aggressiveness, the champagne is very well balanced. The acidity is perfectly controlled, with hints of yellow fruit and almonds rounding off the superb honeyed finish.
With a talent like this, other winemakers have only themselves to blame!
