Emeric's note

Taste profile

The wine's soundboard.

Tall bars, big wine. Low bars, easy wine.

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.

Antoine came home after years in Argentina and South Africa with a taste for experimenting. This is his orange wine: Sauvignon Blanc fermented on its skins.

A very different side of Pouilly.

Where it comes from

Centre-Loire (Sancerre & Pouilly-Fumé) map

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.
