R. Pouillon & fils "Les Terres Froides" Blanc de Blancs Extra-Brut 2020

This particular Blanc de Blancs comes from the Terres Froides parcel in the village of Tauxièrres-Mutry in Montagne de Reims, which (along with Mareuil-sur-Aÿ in the Vallée) was granted a 99% rating from the échelle des crus, just one point shy of Grand Cru status. Fabrice has a half a hectare in this parcel which is a lieu dit of Les Fourches, south-west of the village, closer to Tours-sur-Marne. It has a northern exposition and a cool to cold microclimate with risk of spring frost. The soil here is more chalk than clay which can be found closer to the village, and the cool microclimate is perfect for Chardonnay.
