Champagne, France | 65% Pinot Noir, 20% Pinot Meunier, 15% Chardonnay | B.22 / 23 |91 WA

This is Fabrice’s calling card—a kaleidoscope of Vallée de la Marne terroirs captured in one bottle. A truly smart bottling that punches way above its weight class.Bright aromas of orange zest, ripe pear, and hazelnut spice entice you from the first pour. On the palate, it's fleshy yet razor-sharp, driven by vibrant acidity and supported by a beautiful, pillowy texture. The finish is long and saline, with just $2 g/L dosage keeping everything in perfect balance.

Since replacing the old Brut Réserve and introducing the proprietary "Method Pouillon" for the second fermentation, the Grande Vallée is soaring in popularity. Once you taste it, it becomes instantly apparent why: classy, artisanal bubbles that absolutely over-deliver for the price. Kristaps Karklins on The Wine Advocate agrees, and the word is spreading fast on Pouillon's commendable Champagne. Be in the know and taste this new release before others.
