Solera Extra Brut Champagne

Low in stock

€88,00

Fabrice Pouillon's gastronomic cuvée! A solera elaborated with a perpetual reserve system since 1997. Of great complexity, it reveals notes of pear, candied citrus, and dried fruits, supported by pastry notes evoking a croissant. An "anti-vintage" cuvée that erases the vintage effect to highlight the terroir of Mareuil-sur-Aÿ.

The Solera cuvée is one of Pouillon's most distinctive champagnes. It blends equal parts Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from Mareuil-sur-Aÿ Premier Cru, using the solera principle: several vintages have been successively blended since 1997, creating a wine that combines the freshness of recent years with the complexity of older ones. The result is rich and deep, with notes of ripe apple, dried fruits, honey, brioche, sweet spices, and candied citrus, supported by a beautiful tension.

Fermentation takes place in French oak barrels with indigenous yeasts, followed by aging in large oak foudres. The Extra-Brut dosage is very low—the 2021 technical sheet indicated 2 g/L—which maintains a lot of freshness despite the richness of the blend. The estate even recommends opening it about thirty minutes before tasting or decanting it. Ideal with pan-fried foie gras, truffled poultry, mushrooms, aged Comté, or gourmet cuisine.
