We’ve worked with Pol Couronne for years now and the quality emerging from the house is nothing short of exceptional.
Owned and run by Jean-Baptise Prevost, the House actually dates back to 1887 and was founded by Pol Auguste Couronne, who was born in Hautvillers (of Dom Perignon fame) in 1862. Each of the wines have great depth, with a clear minerality running throughout – the intention is to maintain freshness, even if there is layer upon layer of complexity (which there is, even in the ‘entry level’ NV). There’s a reason why this quickly became our biggest selling Champagne house and has never been knocked of its perch.
The Wines
Pol Couronne Champagne House embrace the complexity of assemblage, carefully blending grapes from different vineyards across the Champagne region. The family's vineyards are managed using sustainable agriculture, with some principles of biodynamics also followed.
The Champenois terroir, influenced by both oceanic and continental climates, is known for its distinct identity shaped by specific soils and grape varieties. Pol Couronne strives to capture this complexity in their wines. For instance, the Chardonnay grapes from the sandy-clay soils of Avize contribute a special minerality, adding freshness and linearity to their wines.
