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 a proposal that looks at Champagne from a different perspective: a dry white wine made from south-facing soil, in a strip of hills overlooking Mareuil-sur-Aÿ and the heart of the Coteaux Champenois appellation, presented in a magnum bottle that invites moments of sharing and reflection. This expression is characterized by 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 interpretation of the Champagne terroir. The Pouillon producer belongs to a family tradition rooted in the heart of the region: a company that has made care for the vineyard, patience in the cellar, and the desire to express the terroir without forcing its signature, nurturing a reputation built on a balance between tradition and innovation. The company's history is based on specific choices: respectfully cultivated vineyards, hand-harvested grapes, meticulous harvesting, and a careful selection of calcareous soils deeply rooted in the mineral matrix. All this allows for slow ripening of the grapes, preserving the wine's freshness and longevity. The production philosophy combines sustainability with a minimalist approach: limited intervention, meticulous temperature control during fermentation, and aging on fine lees adds complexity without weighing it down, allowing the wine to express itself with distinct nuances and a velvety texture. Sur le Mont's distinctive characteristics compared to other similar wines lie in its pronounced minerality, sharp savory character, and a tension that accompanies the sip from the initial attack to the lingering finish. Aromas range from ripe citrus, almond zest, and light floral notes, offering a diaphanous yet nuanced sensory profile. This wine's role in the Pouillon range is to expand 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 a quality oriented toward understated elegance, supported by a careful and informed work philosophy, in line with the STELT positioning. Sur le Mont embodies the idea of ​​discreet excellence that values ​​lengthy aging and elegant tastings, offering an authentic interpretation of the terroir and a highly valuable proposition for those seeking depth without ostentation.
