NV R. Pouillon Reserve Brut, Champagne, FranceABOUT THIS WINE Fruit is harvested by hand and transferred to an ancient wooden pneumatic press. The juice then falls via gravity into enameled iron fermentation tanks. The wines are aged in a combination of stainless steel and older oak demi muids and barriques where everything undergoes full malolactic fermention. Reserve wines are aged for up to 18 months in 700 liter, old oak barrels. There is also a stainless steel solera with wines dating back

producing wine with the utmost respect for tradition

In the cellar the wines of the Domaine Bernard Moreau are vinified in the traditional way

Low yields are a rule and each vine is cared for individually

and even ourselves
