NV Piollot 'Cuvee Come des Tallants' Champagne

Pinot Noir

Aube, France

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 1911, Roland’s great-grandfather was one of the leaders of the famous Aube revolt, which ensured that the Aube would remain an official part of Champagne. As of 2018, Roland and Dominique have been joined by their daughter, Jeanne.

From the south-facing Côme des Tallants parcel in Polisot, this 100% Pinot Noir is aged entirely in tank and kept on the lees for four years prior to release. The sunny exposure of the vineyard helps create a full-bodied Blanc de Noirs Champagne that has a natural balance of acidity.
