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.

The wines produced by Domaine R. Pouillon & Fils, a leading Champagne house, are renowned for their fine, gourmet style. Alongside the attention lavished on its emblematic Champagne cuvees, this estate, where practices have been transmitted from father to son for several generations, produces red and white wines offering a pure and different interpretation of the terroir where the grapes grow.
This Paunet cuvée is the perfect reflection of the winemaker’s ambition to offer more still and unusual Champagne wines. Comprising entirely of Pinot Noir, Paunet benefits from clay and chalk soils with a large internal surface area, typical of the region. This characteristic provides the aromatic range with great fruit purity.
The bouquet is dominated by red fruit, notably cherry and raspberry. The structure is elegant and precise, reflecting all the qualities of the wines produced by the talented Fabrice Pouillon.
