History of the estate

The Pouillon Champagne House was founded in 1947, shortly after the Second World War, by Roger Pouillon in Mareuil sur Aÿ. Today it is Fabrice Pouillon , Roger's grandson, who cultivates the estate's 6.5 hectares of vines, combining modernity and innovation while respecting the Champagne tradition. With extensive plot work (36 identified plots), aging on lees with stirring, original foaming and careful aging, the R. Pouillon et Fils house produces vintages of high quality and consistency in the Champagne and Champagne appellation. ^1st Cru. An area to follow closely!
