Régis Poissinet
Régis Poissinet produces champagne from the chalky soils and cool climate of France's Champagne region, where Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay thrive. The house releases three principal cuvées. Carte d'Or Brut Champagne blends all three grapes in a traditional composition. Cuvée Irizée focuses on Chardonnay alone, emphasizing the mineral character the chalk terroir imparts. Terre de Rosée Extra Brut pairs Pinot Meunier with Chardonnay in a drier style. Wine Enthusiast has rated these releases, with Carte d'Or and Cuvée Irizée each scoring 90 points and Terre de Rosée at 89. The winery's range reflects the classical Champagne approach: precise varietal selection and restrained dosage to let the region's signature acidity and complexity speak.
