How to serve it
Tasting notes
Golden yellow with a fine, steady bead. The nose offers ripe apple, pear and red berries with hints of brioche and toasted almond. The palate is vinous and precise, with Pinot Noir depth, lively acidity and a chalky, dry finish thanks to the low dosage.
About this wine
R. Pouillon & Fils is a family-run grower house in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, in the Vallée de la Marne, where the Pouillon family has been making Champagne from its own vineyards for three generations, today led by Fabrice Pouillon.
Grande Vallée takes its name from the Marne valley that is home to the estate. Pinot Noir leads the blend, completed by Chardonnay and Meunier, and the wine rests on its fine lees before a low Extra Brut dosage that keeps it vinous and precise.
In the Magnum format the wine evolves more slowly and gracefully, gaining finesse: a generous bottle for festive tables and larger gatherings.
