🏰 The 2017 vintage in Champagne was generally considered good, despite a challenging growing season marked by episodes of frost and hail. However, a warm and dry summer allowed for good ripening, resulting in wines that often exhibit freshness and good acidity. R. Pouillon, a respected grower-producer, crafts Champagnes that reflect the unique terroir of their 1er Cru vineyards. His 'Le Montgruguet Extra Brut' from 2017, as an Extra Brut, promises a very dry, crisp, and pure expression. Expect a vibrant palate with notes of green apple, bright citrus, subtle brioche undertones from lees aging, and a distinctive chalky minerality, all lifted by a fine and persistent mousse. This is a Champagne that prioritizes precision and freshness, showcasing the quality of its 1er Cru origins. 【 A 1er Cru Extra Brut Champagne, offering exceptional dryness and purity of expression from a grower producer. 】 🍴 This exquisite Extra Brut Champagne is a versatile pairing partner.
