Champagne Piollot is produced by Roland Piollot and his wife Dominique Moreau from family owned vines in the Aube. The vineyards are located primarily in the town of Polisot, where the family has had strong roots since the early 20th century. In 1986, Roland decided to bottle the wines himself, and in 2009, he converted all 10 hectares of vineyards to organic farming. Essentially overnight, the Piollot’s production was radically changed. Since the conversion to organic farming, the Piollots have continued to find ways to improve their stewardship of the land, and in 2020, they obtained biodynamic certification for all of their vineyards.
Cuvée de Reserve is produced from 70% Pinot Noir with 30% Chardonnay. Fermented in barrel and aged for four years on its lees. Light and floral, an excellent example of Piollot’s terroir, full and well-balanced with a beautiful aromatic expression and long finish.
