A terroir-driven grower Champagne from Fabrice Pouillon, the third-generation, organically-minded vigneron of Mareuil-sur-Ay. Grande Vallee is his Pinot Noir-dominant cuvee, named for the stretch of the Marne valley his family farms, and it's partially fermented in oak for added depth and breadth. Finished as an Extra Brut with only a whisper of dosage, it shows the wine-driven, structured side of Champagne rather than the simply festive one. Built on the 2021 base, it's a serious, chalk-driven bottle that drinks like fine wine with bubbles.

Robert Parker

91 points

"Based primarily on the 2022 vintage and incorporating 10% reserve wines from 2021 along with 20% from the perpetual reserve, Pouillon’s latest NV Grande Vallée is sourced from five communes within the Vallée de la Marne—Avenay-Val-d'Or, Épernay, Festigny, Mareuil-sur-Aÿ and Mutigny. This Pinot Noir-dominant blend is complemented by 20% Pinot Meunier and 15% Chardonnay. Disgorged in October 2024 with a dosage of two grams per liter, it unfurls in the glass with aromas of orange zest, ripe pear, hazelnut and spices. Medium- to full-bodied, it is both fleshy and precise, with ripe but vibrant acidity, a pillowy mousse and a long, sapid finish. Observant tasters will note that beginning with the 2019 base, Grande Vallée has replaced Brut Réserve, exemplifying Fabrice Pouillon’s emphasis on precision and detail." —Kristaps Karklins

Champagne

Champagne boasts some of the world’s greatest luxury brands with Krug, Cristal and, of course, Dom Perignon. But it’s also home to hundreds of small dynamic producers—farmers who grow their own grapes (often organically) and make (often with natural methods) tiny amounts of pure and absolutely delicious wine that reflect the individual personalities of their villages and terroirs. Toast with these wines, for sure. But also treat them like the great wines they are: taste, drink, explore!
