Pol Couronne, 75-25 Grand Cru, Nv Solaris Based in the Southern ValleysThe Grand Cru "75 25" is aptly named. It is made with 75% Pinot Noir from the Grand Cru vineyards Bouzy and Ambonnay, which give the cuve structure, fruitiness and freshness. The addition of 25% Chardonnay from the Grand Cru vineyards of Avize, the heart of the Cte des Blancs, softens the emphasis on Pinot Noir, which gives freshness to this cuve. This subtle combination makes it possible to offer a high quality champagne that is perfectly balanced.
