Fabrice Pouillon's Cuvée Les Valnons 2010 is a Blanc de Blancs Champagne made from a single plot in the Aÿ terroir, one of the few Champagne terroirs classified as Grand Cru.
It's a totally atypical cuvée, since the Aÿ terroir is renowned for its Pinots Noirs, and there are virtually no Chardonnays.
This cuvée is aged entirely in barrels to bring out the roundness and richness of the Chardonnay.
The dosage is Extra Brut, of the order of 2g/l, to allow the wine to express itself unvarnished.
