Premier Cru Chemin du Bois Extra-Brut R. Pouillon & fils 2015
The wine
This blanc de noirs is produced exclusively from Pinot Noir and vinified in used oak barrels with indigenous yeasts. Some stirring of the lees has intensified its aromas and texture. We’re therefore not at all surprised by its fullness and generosity on the palate, lifted by fresh floral notes. This is undeniably made to be enjoyed with food; it will come into its own with a dish of white meat, for instance.
About the Producer R. Pouillon & fils
In the aftermath of World War I, Roger Pouillon began to write the first chapter of a family saga and of an outstanding complex and vibrant Champagne. His son James then played a key role in developing it, before handing the baton to the third generation represented by Fabrice. The family trademark is innovation combined with a belief in cherishing traditional methods. The vineyard spans 6.5 hectares divided into 36 outstanding parcels in some of the finest terroirs in the region in Aÿ Grand Cru, Mareuil sur Aÿ, Mutigny, and Epernay. The grape varieties planted also contribute to the quality of Champagnes produced. The additional challenge facing the Champagne house is allowing the grapes to express the minerality of their terroir using integrated vineyard management techniques based on the biological cycle and horse-drawn ploughing.
