Intensity
A vivacious and expressive 100% Chardonnay to savour on its own. Less is more as they say.
More infoThis pure Chardonnay has very little dosage. After vinification in oak barrels with ambient yeasts and stirring of the lees, the wine is raised in barrels so as to attenuate the acidity typical of the grape, to make it rounder and richer. We enjoy its minerality and great freshness.

About the Producer R. Pouillon & fils
In the aftermath of World War I, Roger Pouillon began to write the first chapter of a family saga and of an outstanding complex and vibrant Champagne. His son James then played a key role in developing it, before handing the baton to the third generation represented by Fabrice. The family trademark is innovation combined with a belief in cherishing traditional methods. The vineyard spans 6.5 hectares divided into 36 outstanding parcels in some of the finest terroirs in the region in Aÿ Grand Cru, Mareuil sur Aÿ, Mutigny, and Epernay. The grape varieties planted also contribute to the quality of Champagnes produced. The additional challenge facing the Champagne house is allowing the grapes to express the minerality of their terroir using integrated vineyard management techniques based on the biological cycle and horse-drawn ploughing.
