A complex, concentrated example of Pouilly Fumé with well balanced, crisp gooseberry and blackcurrant leaf fruit overlaid with hints of citrus and mineral. The finish is elegant and long with hints of flint and ripe apple.
On this family owned 17 hectare Estate the system of minimum intervention is practised. The soil is analysed to determine if fertiliser is required or not and treatments only carried out if essential. The vines are on average 25 years old and are trained guyot simple. Each year there is green harvest and debudding in the spring in order to improve quality. The vine vigour and yield is reduced further by use of cover crops.
Temperature controlled fermentation for 18-20 days.

Eric Marchand spent his childhood in the vineyards helping his parents, who instilled in him a deep love for the land.
He went on to study viticulture and then, after graduation he and his brother Pascal took over from their father. Across their 17ha the brothers practise minimum intervention as well as conducting green harvests and debudding in the spring to improve quality further. The result is a beautifully concentrated Pouilly Fumé, with well balanced, crisp gooseberry and blackcurrant leaf fruit overlaid with hints of citrus and minerality.
