Description
What kind of wine is it
Pouilly-Fumé Tradition, produced by Serge Dagueneau et Filles, is a dry white wine with controlled designation of origin from the Loire Valley, expressing the quintessence of Sauvignon Blanc. It is vinified in temperature-controlled vats and matured on fine lees. Characterised by an intense, crystalline yellow-green colour, it reveals on the nose hints of exotic fruit, citrus and delicate floral notes, enriched by a pronounced mineral imprint of flint and typical smoky nuances. On the palate, it opens fresh and crisp, supported by lively acidity and an intense, persistent finish, making it ideal to accompany fresh cheeses and seafood dishes.
Where does it come from
This wine originates between Pouilly-sur-Loire and Saint-Andelain, from vineyards situated on sunny slopes with south and south-east exposure. The terroir is dominated by the renowned Terres blanches, clay-limestone and marl soils rich in fossils, which impart a distinctive savouriness and verticality to the taste. The use of old vines, with an average age of thirty-five years and some rare centenarian stocks, ensures a measured yield, favouring extraordinary aromatic concentration and great precision on the palate.
How is it produced
In October, the grapes are harvested, destemmed and immediately pressed. A cold skin maceration of twenty-four hours allows the must to best extract the primary aromas of the grape variety. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled vats to preserve its natural freshness. The wine gains body and complexity thanks to careful maturation on fine lees combined with weekly bâtonnage. Subsequent clarification and light filtration complete the process, offering an elegant and harmonious drinking experience.
History and Curiosities
Pouilly-Fumé Tradition is produced at Domaine Serge Dagueneau et Filles, a historic family estate managed by four generations. The grapes ripen on south-facing slopes, where ancient vines, some over a hundred years old, sink their roots into the Terres blanches. This unique soil, rich in fossilised oysters, imparts a sublime mineral richness to the wine. Winner of numerous prestigious awards and mentioned in the Hachette guide, this fine AOC white wine celebrates a glorious French winemaking tradition and its splendid region.
