Description
“For me, Le Montgruguet is part of a family that has just welcomed a new baby. And I compare it of course to its siblings. It’s similar to them, but with something different, that becomes increasingly apparent each and every year. I’m witnessing the transformation of this wine from a spectacular terroir, offering an original version of pinot noir, which evolves from sheer limestone to distinct texture and sophistication. I can’t wait to see it grow up!” (Craig Perman, Perman Wine Selections in Chicago).

In 1947, Roger Poullin, who had been selling his grapes to negociant, decided to make his own Champagne from a small parcel he owned in the village of Muntigny. With the help of Louis Baulant (his uncle and a famous oenologue) he discovered the art of vinification. As his passion grew through the years, he decided to create and sell his own brand.
In 1964, James (Roger and Bernadette's only child) started working with his father while developing his knowledge as a winemaker. He was joined a year later by his wife, Josette, born in Champagne as well.
As Recoltant-Manipultant, the Poullons own their own press and do not work in a coop. The control every step of the process, from the vine to the bottle.
After the death of Roger Poullon in 1993, and his spouse 2 years later, Fabrice (James's yougest son) joins the family business and bring with him his background in viticulture, oenology and marketing. His wife Elodie follow in 2000 to help on the marketing side.
As a young winemaker, James modernized the operation with the use of enamelled vats, hydraulic tractors and gyropaletts. Later, Fabrice introduced sustainable agriculture and started to export Roger Pouillon Champagne to the US, Japan, United Arab Emirates, Italy, Belgium, Canada, Australia and UK. Read more
