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!

Singular, focused, chalky, mouthwatering, bracingly dry and even cleansing.

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.
