Story
Pouillon
Mareuil-sur-Aÿ · Champagne · France
The Pouillon estate is located in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ and it was founded by Roger & Bernadette Pouillon in 1947. Initially, most of the grape production was sold to trading houses, until James (son of Roger) decided to expand the estate from one hectare to five, including two hectares of Chardonnay in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Since 2004, Fabrice Pouillon (3rd generation) has been directing the house. He focuses heavily on his vineyards, employing organic composts, biodynamic preparations & other herbal infusions to ensure vine health. Their horse Tango, is in charge of ploughing the vineyard.
“The plots are harvested separately & the fermentation of the base wines takes place mostly in barriques.”
His devoted work both in the vineyard and in the cellar, is clearly paying off. Full-bodied, vibrancy, intensity, wonderfully complex, are some of the words you can use to describe the power of Fabrice’s champagnes.
