Pouillon Coteaux Champenois Mareuil Blanc "Sur le Mont" 2018 AOC 1,5l

Pouillon Coteaux Champenois Mareuil Blanc Sur le Mont 2018 AOC 1,5l is an offering that looks at Champagne from a different perspective: a dry white wine born on south-facing land, in a band of hills overlooking Mareuil-sur-Aÿ and the heart of the Coteaux Champenois appellation, in a magnum bottle that invites thoughts of moments of sharing and reflection. In this expression, the defining feature is its ability to remain rooted in the soil while offering an elegant verticality that reveals itself on the palate like a page written in pale tones, capable of seducing even those seeking an unconventional reading of the Champagne region. Producer Pouillon belongs to a family tradition rooted in the heart of the region: an estate that has made care of the vineyard, patience in the cellar, and the desire to convey the terroir without forcing it its signature, building a reputation on the balance between tradition and innovation. The estate’s history is founded on precise choices: vineyards cultivated using respectful methods, hand harvesting, meticulous picking, and careful selection of limestone soils deeply connected to the mineral matrix; all of this allows the grapes to ripen slowly, preserving the wine’s freshness and longevity. The production philosophy embraces sustainability and a minimalist approach: limited intervention, precise temperature control during fermentation, and aging on fine lees that adds complexity without weighing the wine down, allowing it to express itself through distinct nuances and a velvety texture. Sur le Mont’s distinctive qualities compared with other similar wines lie in its pronounced minerality, sharp savoriness, and tension that accompanies the palate from the first sip through to the final finish, with aromas ranging from ripe citrus to almond skin and delicate floral notes, offering a diaphanous yet nuanced sensory profile. This wine’s role in the Pouillon range is to open new horizons: it represents the contemplative soul of the project, capable of pairing with seafood, aged cheeses, and equally robust dishes without losing its identity. The wine presents itself as a testament to quality oriented toward understated elegance and supported by a careful, conscious working philosophy, in line with the STELT positioning. Sur le Mont embodies the idea of discreet excellence that celebrates extended aging and elegant tastings, offering an authentic perspective on the territory and a highly valuable choice for those seeking depth without ostentation.
