Fabrice Pouillon: his champagne method

Fabrice Pouillon: his champagne method

Fabrice Pouillon is the third generation to run the family domaine at Mareuil-sur-Aÿ in the Marne region of France, and he has an intrinsic respect for the heritage he has inherited: respect for the vines and for fine work. Constantly questioning himself, curious and eager to experiment, the Champenois celebrates his 26th harvest this September.

After great-grandparents who were farmers, Fabrice Pouillon's grandfather was the first to start making wine. Over three generations, the estate has grown from strength to strength. Today, with 8 hectares divided into 45 parcels in 7 villages, the heart of the estate remains at Mareuil-sur-Aÿ. Since Fabrice joined the family adventure in 1999, he has never stopped moving forward, opting for action and reflection rather than resting on his laurels or being content with what has always been done and what we know. "We prefer measured experimentation, without dogma or trends," as he likes to say. Preserving Champagne's identity and tradition does not exclude his commitment to innovation, experimentation and the promotion of exchange.
