R. Pouillon & Fils Les Blanchiens Brut Nature 1er Cru Champagne Blend 2007

$79

Fabrice is the current generation of the Pouillon family, and is steering them into a more holistic method of farming, resulting in wines of tremendous depth and complexity. Transforming his family's previous bottlings has taken some time, but now is fronted by these single-vineyard wines.andnbsp;Blanchiens, formerly known as Fleur deandnbsp;Mareuil, is single-vintage, equal parts pinot noir and chardonnay, all fermented inandnbsp;barriqueandnbsp;and aged in oak for 12 months, then bottled without dosage. As with producers practicing fantastic viticulture, the flavors are full, this with rich dark tones of dark fruits and earth, but without feeling heavy. Soils here are full of clay, helping to lend softness and grace to the wine.andnbsp;andnbsp;

Holy smokes, no dosage and terroir! R. Pouillon "Les Blanchiens" Mareuil-Sur-Ay 2007 "Brut Nature" The persistence and density is profound while the terroir is perfectly on display. It does not taste like Champagne perse but more like a wine from a specific place with bubbles. Complex and intertwined palate notes and a superbly fine bubbles create a texture of bead, mousse and that is then awash in pitch perfect acidity. A good friend once said that while no dosage can seem crazy in some instances, in the right Champagnes it is great and can make so much sense. This Pouillon is exactly one of those great instances! *Full Disclosure: I am not usually a fan of no dosage, especially in extreme examples - it just goes to show you have to always keep an open mind in wine (and life)!

Good acid cut, linear texture that is pure and terroir driven, accented with some grapefruit and blood orange with crushed chalky limestone. A rockheads dream!

Savory and delicious birthday bubbles from @Ousi Li! Lean but compelling, and with the extra complexity you'd expect from a vintage bottling, this is up there with my favorite champagnes.
