Champagne Pour Tout Verified independent store

A single-village Grand Cru from Puisieulx, one of the four Grand Cru villages where François Secondé owns vines. Puisieulx is a smaller and less well-known Grand Cru than Sillery o r Verzenay, but its Pinot Noir produces champagnes of great character and terroir distinction. Partially vinified in oak, like the La Loge. The perpetual reserve, started in 2005, provides 30% of the blend. A champagne that gives voice to a village rarely heard on its own. Tasting notes: On the nose: the characteristic Pinot Noir richness of Puisieulx, with the subtle woodiness of partial oak ageing. On the palate: full, structured and long — a champagne with vinosity and mineral depth in equal measure. Food pairing: An excellent table champagne. Outstanding with poultry in cream sauce, roasted white meats, mature soft cheeses and charcuterie.
