- TASTING NOTE: A pure fruited and mineral driven wine. This wine shows a lovely light golden colour with a fresh and rather subtle fruity nose, balanced with classic Pouilly Fume gunflint notes. The palate is likewise both fresh and soft, with fleshy orchard fruits and a vibrant line of mineral acid. Perfect balance.
- ABOUT THE WINE: Harvest occurs in the cool of the night from vines grown in predominately flint (silex) soils. Grapes are gently pressed and undergo a slow, cool fermentation in stainless steel. The wines sits on it's fine lees until bottling in the Spring. Minimal sulphur added.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: The estate of Eric Louis has been rooted in the south-east of the Sancerre appellation for four generations. It was founded in 1860 by his great-grandmother Pauline, who gave her name to the winery 'Les Celliers de la Pauline'. Eric’s parents, Ginette and Leon, gradually moved away from multi-crop farming and specialized into winegrowing in the 1980s. Today the estate spreads over 35 hectares and across a mosaic of around 60 plots on Thauvenay, Ménétréol sous Sancerre and Vinon villages. Vines are located at the edge of the Loire and are planted on slopes from the geological fault of Thauvenay. They cultivate Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir on a outstanding flint, limestone and clay-limestone terroir. The estate has been in conversion to organic farming since 2020.
