Fabrice Pouillon's 2015 Cuvée Les Châtaigniers is a champagne with a superb fruity bouquet that goes equally well with aperitifs and cold starters.
This cuvée takes its name from the locality where the Pinot Meunier used to make it is planted. It's a parcel located in Festigny, in the Vallée du Flagot, itself located in the Vallée de la Marne. It's a parcel on clay soil, giving fruity, ripe grapes.
Les Châtaigniers 2015 was vinified in oak barrels. Fabrice Pouillon chose to mix new barrels with barrels that had already produced several wines.
This cuvée has been corked to develop the wine's aromatic palette. The dosage is Extra Brut.
Les Châtaigniers 2015 offers a nose of gourmet notes of honey, apple compote and candied citrus fruit.
On the palate, the attack is silky and creamy. This is a charming cuvée, with lovely notes of mirabelle plum jam and rhubarb.
It's a champagne that goes perfectly with an aperitif or a fruit dessert.
