Champagne Pouillon

Situated in the heart of the Vallée de la Marne, Champagne R. Pouillon & Fils is a distinguished family estate with deep roots in Mareuil-sur-Ay, a village celebrated for its prime Pinot Noir vineyards. For generations, the Pouillon family has tended their slopes with meticulous care, producing Champagnes that marry the vibrant fruit of the Marne with a refined structural tension that reflects the region’s unique terroir.

The estate’s vineyards stretch across classic marl and chalk soils, where Pinot Noir finds both ripeness and freshness — a duality that underpins the identity of Pouillon’s wines. Chardonnay and a touch of Pinot Meunier add balance and aromatic complexity, but it is the estate’s expressive Pinot Noir that most defines its house style: vibrant red fruit framed by saline lift and a persistent spine of acidity.

From vine to bottle, R. Pouillon & Fils combines traditional viticultural discipline with thoughtful cellar practice. Grapes are harvested with precision, fermentation is deliberate and respectful of site expression, and extended lees ageing allows texture and depth to develop naturally. Dosage is calibrated to emphasise clarity over sweetness, letting the purity of fruit and minerality speak with quiet authority.

The resulting Champagnes are both lively and structured, capable of exciting the palate in youth yet rewarding contemplation with age. Notes of crisp orchard fruit, subtle citrus zest, and fine mineral nuances unfold with harmony, making these wines versatile companions at the table or splendidly expressive on their own.

Champagne R. Pouillon & Fils stands as a testament to the power of place — the vineyards of Mareuil-sur-Ay — and the enduring craft of a family who has understood, generation after generation, how to translate soil and season into elegant, nuanced Champagne.
