The story

Behind the bottle

Domaine du Bouchot sits on the slope below Saint-Andelain, in Pouilly-Fumé. Antoine Gouffier took it over from the Kerbiquet family, who had farmed it organically for decades, and it is certified organic and biodynamic.

MCMLV is 1955 in Roman numerals: the cuvée comes from the oldest vines of their Terres Blanches plot, on marl and limestone, aged in steel, old casks and cement.

The domaine's top Pouilly-Fumé. Also in magnum.

The place

Centre-Loire (Sancerre & Pouilly-Fumé) · Loire Valley

Inland, the river bends north and the climate turns continental. On flint (silex), limestone and Kimmeridgian marl, Sauvignon Blanc reaches its most precise, smoky-mineral expression in Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé. Sancerre also makes elegant Pinot Noir red and rosé.
