Poulet & Fils is a four‑generation family winery located along the steep hillsides of the Drôme Valley. The vineyards are planted in small clay‑limestone plots around the villages of Pontaix, Montlaur‑en‑Diois, Vercheny and Châtillon‑en‑Diois. Muscat, Clairette, Chardonnay, Aligoté and Gamay thrive in this exceptional climate, shaped by harsh winters and Mediterranean summers. The estate follows sustainable practices and holds the High Environmental Value (HEV) certification, highlighting its commitment to biodiversity and soil health. Once fully ripe, the grapes are carefully harvested and vinified to produce high‑quality Clairette de Die, Crémant de Die and Châtillon‑en‑Diois wines.

Winemaking

A first complete fermentation takes place at 20°C. A second fermentation occurs after adding the tirage liqueur (22 g/L rectified concentrated grape must and yeast). The bottles are aged on racks for 36 months. The sediment is removed by disgorging, and the expedition liqueur is added to reach 10 g/L residual sugar.

Tasting notes

Light golden color with regular froth and fine bubbles. A dry, full‑bodied wine with aromas of white flowers, almond and honey. Serving: well‑chilled (8°C). Cellaring potential: 3–6 years.

Food pairing

Perfect as an aperitif, or paired with grilled fish, goat cheese or dessert.
