Colour
Pale straw yellow with silver reflections and a clear, vibrant transparency.
Nose
Fresh citrus fruits and white blossoms, accompanied by green apple notes and a subtle mineral touch reminiscent of the fossil-rich marl soil.
Palate
Juicy and precise with lively acidity, hints of tropical fruit and a clean, slightly saline finish.
Character
An elegant, fresh and fruity Loire white wine that combines depth with drinkability, thanks to biodynamic viticulture and ancient vine roots.
Pairing
Fresh oysters, grilled sea bass with lemon butter or a warm asparagus salad with herbs.
Notes
Demeter-certified, from the first organically certified estate in Pouilly-Fumé; the vines are rooted in calcareous marl containing fossilised oysters, lending the wine its distinctive freshness and refined minerality.
Tasting note
Character
A Sauvignon Blanc of precise fruit and fine minerality, combining the cool elegance of the Loire with a riper, almost southern richness. On the palate, it is taut yet generous, with notes of citrus fruits, white flowers and a saline depth reminiscent of wet pebbles. The half bottle is ideal for spontaneous enjoyment à deux or as a concentrated accompaniment to a multi-course menu.
Terroir & Origin
The Terres Blanches of Saint-Andelain form the backbone of this wine: weathered Saint-Doulchard marl, interspersed with Exogyra virgula oyster fossils and fine layers of iron-rich glauconite. These soils, cooler and more fertile than the calcareous caillottes of neighbouring plots, impart to the wine its fruity, floral character and a supple texture that sets it apart from the more structured limestone wines of the estate.
Grape Variety & Vinification
Antoine Gouffier, who took over the estate in 2018 and has been Demeter-certified since 2020, vinifies this Sauvignon Blanc with indigenous yeasts, eschewing enzymes or fining agents. A minimal addition of sulphur is made only just before bottling. The result is a wine of unadulterated clarity, masterfully balancing the tension between ripe fruit and vibrant acidity.
Food Pairings
Its saline minerality and citrus freshness make it an ideal match for oysters and seafood, but also for grilled fish with herb butter or local goat’s cheese. An asparagus risotto or roasted asparagus with hollandaise finds a worthy counterpart in this wine, whose chalky vein mirrors the earthiness of the vegetable.
