Aromas of grapefruit and white flowers meet notes of flint and green apple. The palate features a crisp, linear acidity and a long, mineral finish characteristic of the Loire Valley.
Sustainable farming and hand-harvesting precede a gentle pneumatic pressing and cool fermentation in stainless steel. The wine matures on its fine lees for several months to enhance aromatic complexity and textural weight without the influence of oak.
Baron Patrick de Ladoucette produces this wine from the Château du Nozet estate, the largest in Pouilly-Fumé. Vineyards are planted in a diverse mosaic of Kimmeridgian marl, flint, and clay-limestone soils that define the region's smoky, gunflint character.
