Pouillon’s 2018 Blanc de Noirs Mareuil-sur-Aÿ Chemin du Bois is sourced from a single parcel of old massal-selection Pinot Noir planted in 1962 at the bottom of the slope in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, where approximately 60 centimeters of clay overlay chalk. Disgorged in October 2024 with a dosage of three grams per liter, it is vinified without sulfites, and its second fermentation is initiated by a liqueur de tirage composed of the same vineyard and vintage juice and yeast from his own vineyards propagated in laboratory. It offers up discreetly high-toned aromas of red apple, toasted nuts, acacia honey and clementine zest. Medium- to full-bodied, broad and demonstrative, it features ripe yet vibrant acidity and finishes long with assertive phenolic grip. Slightly more precocious than its peers, this cuvée is best approached in its youth.

Varietal

Champagne Blend

The sparkling wines of Champagne have been revered by wine drinkers for hundreds of years, and even today they maintain their reputation for excellence of flavor and character, and are consistently associated with quality, decadence, and a cause for celebration. Their unique characteristics are partly due to the careful blending of a small number of selected grape varietals, most commonly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. These grapes, blended in fairly equal quantities, give the wines of Champagne their wonderful flavors and aromas, with the Pinot Noir offering length and backbone, and the Chardonnay varietal giving its acidity and dry, biscuity nature. It isn't unusual to sometimes see Champagne labeled as 'blanc de blanc', meaning it is made using only Chardonnay varietal grapes, or 'blanc de noir', which is made solely with Pinot Noir.

Region

Champagne

The beautiful rolling hillsides of the Champagne region of France have, for hundreds of years, been producing many of the world's most famous wines. The sparkling white wines to come out of Champagne's prestigious wineries have conquered the world, and are drank in celebration across the globe. The vast majority of the region is under vine, and grows predominantly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grape varietals, which are usually blended together by master wine-makers in order to make their recognizable and widely loved produce. The north-easterly region of Champagne has a relatively cool climate, and quite a lot of rainfall, making it far from ideal for ripening grapes. However, the presence of heavily forested areas in the region helps maintain a balanced temperature, and the generations of expertise the wineries hold clearly produces excellent results in spite of the climatic problems.

Winery Notes

This is Fabrice's most daring wine. Conceived as a Champagne that shows how farming can affect ripeness and ultimately influence the Champagne Method, which is highly interventionist, this Champagne is made only with grapes and grape sugar without any other sugar added. It is legal to add sugar in three steps in making Champagne: chaptalization, prise de mousse, and dosage. Fabrice sources this 100% pinot noir from a single parcel in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ called "Chemin du Bois." Here, he can achieve 12° Baumé at harvest. He then separates 15% of the pressed juice and holds it in steel until spring. The rest is fermented in neutral barrels with ambient yeast. After 12 months he blends the vin claire with the grape juice and the fermentation starts again with ambient yeast. When the remaining sugar reaches 24 grams/Liter, he bottles the wine under cork for the secondary fermentation. If dosage is used, it is made with grape juice. There is no other Champagne like this one.
