Description
Each year this is a blend of crus from all of Pouillon’s holdings and is composed of roughly 65% Pinot Noir, 20% Pinot Meunier, and 15% Chardonnay. This cuvée has evolved over time and improved in quality to better reflect the evolution of the domain at large. Formerly known as Réserve Brut, the Grande Vallée cuvée is fermented with native yeasts, half in neutral barriques and half fermented in an enameled tank. Élevage continued for at least of 6–8 months before the wine was blended with the previous vintage and the "perpetual cuvée" for secondary fermentation in bottle, utilizing unfermented grape juice from the same vineyards for he dosage.
