Pouillon Champagne 1er Cru Brut Solera","description":"\u003ch3\u003eWhat kind of wine it is\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Champagne Premier Cru Brut Solera by Pouillon is a deep and structured wine. Crafted using the \u003cstrong\u003eTraditional Method\u003c\/strong\u003e, it is born from a harmonious blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The use of the \u003cstrong\u003eSolera method\u003c\/strong\u003e allows the vibrancy of young wines to be combined with the richness of historic reserves. In the glass, it reveals intense notes of candied and dried fruit, accompanied by a clear mineral imprint. On the palate, it is dry and balanced, distinguished by a \u003cstrong\u003ecrisp freshness\u003c\/strong\u003e that leads to a long and clean finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe roots of this Champagne are found in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, on the French slopes classified as \u003cstrong\u003ePremier Cru\u003c\/strong\u003e. The soils of the area are characterised by a calcareous matrix dominated by chalk and a deep layer of clay. This specific composition of the \u003cstrong\u003eMareuil terroir\u003c\/strong\u003e incisively shapes the wine's identity. Such characteristics give the Champagne a vibrant \u003cstrong\u003emineral tension\u003c\/strong\u003e and perfect structural balance, reflecting the area's excellent quality potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVinification is based on the integration of successive batches through a perpetual reserve system. After spontaneous fermentation triggered by \u003cstrong\u003eindigenous yeasts\u003c\/strong\u003e, the reserves are carefully matured in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e deliberately kept partially empty. Subsequently, the blend undergoes secondary fermentation following the rigorous \u003cstrong\u003eTraditional Method\u003c\/strong\u003e. The entire production process concludes with a \u003cstrong\u003eprolonged maturation\u003c\/strong\u003e of 36 months on the lees, an essential step to enrich its aromatic complexity and define a smooth and profound flavour profile.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDescribed by Pouillon as a true generational wine, this Champagne Premier Cru is created using the fascinating \u003cstrong\u003eSolera method\u003c\/strong\u003e, which combines the vibrancy of young wines with the depth of more mature ones. Thanks to the principle of the “perpetual reserve”, this blend masterfully unites 24 vintages, refining the precious reserve wines in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e.
