DOMAINE DU BOUCHOT

Domaine du Bouchot is a tiny domaine located in St. Andelain in the southern part of Pouilly Fumé, near the Loire River. Run by self-proclaimed organic activists, Antoine Gouffier and his wife Ilse Nel, they were the first domaine in the appellation to be certified organic and have also worked biodynamically in their vineyards and winery since 2008. Having started working in the vineyards in Pouilly Fumé during his childhood, Antoine travelled for a decade and dedicated himself to learning other methods from around the world and eventually worked with South Africa’s star Winemaker Duncan Savage. Returning to Pouilly Fumé with exciting new energy and modern views, Antoine and Ilse have produced a collection that possess fantastic energy and structure and display some spectacular innovative expressions of Pouilly Fume.

This wine comes from the first certified organic estate in the Loire Valley and in 2021 they will be fully biodynamic certified as well. The wines are made from 10 hectares worth of Sauvignon Blanc planted around the winery, which is located in the village of Saint Andelain on the east side of the Loire (facing Sancerre). Biodynamic practices are taken within the vineyard and winery and the wines are naturally fermented in stainless steel vats with indigenous yeasts and aged in either vat, barrique or amphora.

A coating of ash and stone over the ripe citrus-fruit and apple notes on the nose. Turns to sweet apple and pear flavors on the medium-bodied, dense and silky palate. Quite a round, fruity feel, but the drive of acidity keeps it moving. The mineral notes return in the aftertaste. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.

The 2019 Sancerre Terres Blanches is now starting to blossom. It provides appetizing drinking with its mid palate tenderness, floral and orchard fruit flavors and hints of lees derived almond croissant. This wine gives both a gentle embrace and a fine line thanks to its mouthwatering acidity and the vineyard's terres blanches clay and limestone soils.--

The vines for this wine are grown in limestone. The wine has a very fresh nose with mineral notes to it. This mineral sensation continues on the palate; the wine is fresh and elegant with  an abundance of citrus fruit.

The 2019 Sancerre Caillotttes is a very pure wine that might be full in body and seamless in texture but displays a light touch. The wine coats the palate with a powdery texture, as if it were a red wine. The long finish is redolent of gunsmoke and almond.
