Description
What type of wine it is
The Pouilly Fumé La Renardiere from Domaine Bouchie-Chatellier is a still organic white wine. Made exclusively from Sauvignon Blanc grapes, it comes from the renowned Loire Valley in France. A typical expression of the Pouilly-Fumé Appellation, it stands out for its fresh and elegant aromatic profile. On the nose, it offers delicate floral hints of lily and herbaceous notes of peppermint, while on the palate it is lively, citrusy and distinctly mineral. It is a harmonious wine, well-structured and possesses significant ageing potential.
Where it comes from
This white wine comes to life in the municipality of Pouilly-sur-Loire, in the heart of the Loire Valley. The vines, with an average age of thirty years, are cultivated according to organic and sustainable practices. The terroir is characterised by clay soils which give the grapes a consistent quality and a marked identity. This specific geological composition of the ground translates in the glass into a vibrant minerality, defining the authentic style and pure expression of its territory of origin.
How it is produced
The vinification of the Sauvignon Blanc begins with a progressive and extremely gentle pneumatic pressing. The resulting must ferments for three weeks in temperature-controlled tanks, in order to preserve the aromatic precision of the grapes intact. Subsequently, the wine matures with careful selection and ageing on fine lees following homogenisation. This phase is crucial for enriching the structure and roundness of the sip, whilst ensuring a persistent finish and excellent ageing potential.
