Tasting notes
The wines of Domaine de Ladoucette are renowned throughout the world, and Pouilly-Fumé is one of the most famous. The vineyard is located on the slopes of the Loire, between Sancerre and Pouilly-sur-Loire, and produces dry white wines made from Sauvignon. This wine is pale gold in colour with hints of green. On the nose it demonstrates the classic aromas of Sauvignon Blanc such as lemon, grapefruit and pear balanced against a mineral and flint background noted in quality Loire wines. The palate has crisp fresh acidity with ample citrus- lemon characters and a lingering mineral finish. This wine is drinking well now.

About this wine
De Ladoucette is a renowned producer of Pouilly-Fumé, a white wine made from Sauvignon Blanc grapes grown in the Loire Valley of France. The estate has a long history dating back to the 18th century when the family acquired the Château de Nozet vineyard, which is still the main source of grapes for their Pouilly-Fumé.
The style of production at De Ladoucette is focused on quality and tradition. The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted before being pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged on its lees for several months to develop complexity and depth of flavour. The result is a crisp, refreshing wine with a distinctive minerality and notes of citrus and green apple.
De Ladoucette also produces a range of other wines, including Sancerre and Chablis, as well as a selection of spirits. Their Cuvée Nicolas is a particularly noteworthy offering, a blend of aged Armagnac and Cognac that is rich and complex with notes of dried fruit, vanilla, and spice.
Overall, De Ladoucette is a producer that is dedicated to crafting wines and spirits of exceptional quality and character. Their Pouilly-Fumé is a standout example of the style, and their other offerings are equally impressive. Whether you are a fan of white wine or spirits, De Ladoucette is a producer that should not be missed.
