R. Pouillon Champagne 1er Cru Terres Froides Extra Brut 2019

“This is our secret-wine as it comes from a peaceful haven on the edge of a forest on the Mountain of Reims. It is only austere when it comes to its name, evoking the parcel’s northern exposure. The latter underscores the chalky subsoil’s character and produces a wine with a special kind of expression, brought about by crispness and salinity.”
