Blend from Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, Vallée de la Marne
Disgorged in June 2020 with eight grams per liter dosage, the latest release of Philipponnat's NV Brut Royale Réserve is based on the 2016 vintage, with 27% reserve wines. Offering up aromas of peach, pear and plum mingled with apple blossom and sweet pastry, it's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and expressive, with a pillowy mousse and a generous core of fruit, underpinned by bright acids.William Kelly
Blend from Vallée de la Marne, Champagne
There's a lot to enjoy now and it'll be hard to keep your hands off it! Excellent, tension, playful, with personality. Plenty going on layered very complex. The quality of fruit is clear, wonderful depth and length. A little edge of honey development. Baking spice crème pâtissière layer in. The balance of the 3 varieties makes for a very complete wine. All showing their form and making for a wine greater than the sum of its parts. My preference for fizz with a little development will be ric

Blend from Côteaux Sud d’Épernay, Champagne
Balanced, flowing & long. The Ultratradition has immediate generosity yet the tension needed to give it energy. Fun wine of complexity.Fine with a floral nose and red fruit / pink lady. The Meunier shines bright at 60%, with backbone and complexity from 30% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot. 40% of the blend is reserve wines, and it certainly shows in the mid-palate weight, line, and length. A nice bit of lees contact gives it a seamless flow. Lovely mousse and mouthfeel. Delicious fizz!
Pinot Noir from Vallée de la Marne, Champagne
So many wines are missing the high and low notes from their repetoire. Here you get the full spectrum from perfume to earthy secondary characters! Excellent poise length and balance here. Epic tension with super fine acid and mousse. Delicacy with power. Extremely sophisticated. The build in flavour after you swallow is exceptional, a little baking spice. Strawb, Rhubarb, fine line of phenolics. Layered, complex, superb. Lively & vital with wonderful harmony. So many wines are missing the hi
Blend from Avenay-Val-d'Or, Vallée de la Marne
The perfect introduction to Pouillon's wines, yet, far from an entry level. The gives you a peak into just how much personality and vitality his wines have. Balancing a hint of oxidative character with delicious fruit with great length and depth. The Reserve Brut represents a little splash of fruit across most of Pouillon's holdings. The blend of Pinot, Meunier and Chardonnay is expertly integrated. Fabrice truly gets élévage. This is an incredibly complex, layered and beautiful Champagne. Suc
Blend from Avenay-Val-d'Or, Vallée de la Marne
The perfect introduction to Pouillon's wines, yet, far from an entry level. The gives you a peak into just how much personality and vitality his wines have. In its youth, March 2023, it needs a little warmth and air to coax out the fruit. Patience, 2-3 years will be well rewarded!Balancing a hint of oxidative character with delicious fruit with great length and depth. The Grande Vallée (previously labeled the Réserve) represents a little splash of fruit across most of Pouillon's holdings.
Chardonnay from Aÿ, Vallée de la Marne
Often in the 'Pro' wine circles, you're asked to nail your banner to a mast in a blind tasting. Although a Chardonnay, Fabrice has fooled, without malice, many a Champenois, who has called this wine a Pinot. It's not so much the flavours, but, the body, richness, and, mid-palate power that this wine offers that can confuse.In the end, all of this is irrelevant. What you have in front of you is a wine of purity, line, length, excellent acid, with lovely ripe flavours, a little pith and grapef
Pinot Noir from Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, Vallée de la Marne
Such a beautiful Rosé. If finding a good wine is hard, finding tasty Rosé Champagne is a true mission. There are so many tricked up hard angular wines. Fabrice has got it all going on here. Rosé made by allowing fruit skin contact rather than dosing a white wine with some Red really does appear to offer a much more refined result. This one has lovely fresh, yet developed, red fruits, a little savoury edge and so much more going on. The halmark Pouillon harmony and energy. Just that very sligh
Blend from Festigny, Vallée de la Marne
Hanging to do a side by side with Pouillon's Meunier and Prévost's. To excellent makers two different styles! 100% Pinot Meunier from a site in Fesigny. My Note from the 2012:Like all of Pouillon's wines, this is superb. Fine, delicious, so together with incredible harmony. Not as Oxy as Prévost's, it still has an oxidative note. The core of fruit is there, easily carrying it. Excellent vinosity, pure, fine, long red berry fruits. The texture dances across your palate. Beautifully lay
Blend from Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, Vallée de la Marne
When I was making wine at Yarra Yering we used a Solera barrel of Chardonnay in the liqueur d'expedition for the fizz. The depth, length, and, complexity of this wine with those Oxy notes was a great foil to the richness in the base wines.Fascinating to see what happend to wines made of quality fruit when you age them for extended periods in wood.
