The story began in the 19th century with Gustave and his son, Roger. Together, they founded the estate little by little. Then came Gérard and Bernard. In 2017, Pauline’s arrival marked the fifth generation of passionate winemakers.
Today, the farm has 22 ha on clay-limestone, flint and sand terroirs that you can discover through a range of Pouilly-Fumé and Pouilly-sur-Loire. 2021 marks a turning point for the estate. After a complicated vintage between frost and hail, the decision is made to switch to organic farming.
“After 2 years of testing, I decided to switch to organic conversion, with two years of experience and satisfactory results. I also have about 20 goats on the farm to graze.”
With an exceptional quality-price-typicity ratio, still this formidable Pouilly-Fumé blanc cuvée silex 2022, it is the archetype of what awaits a great typical Pouilly-Fumé, where intermingle notes of almond, peach and heather, it is harmonious in the mouth, intense, mineral (€13).
Very typical, this splendid Pouilly-Fumé blanc Coteau des Girarmes 2022, beautiful minerality, finesse, mainly white flowers and almond, a beautiful aromatic persistence, dense nose and palate, very typical, a wine combining elegance and structure in the final (11 €).
You will still love the superb Pouilly-Fumé De la terre aux étoiles 2021, aged 12 months in 500l barrels, then 6 months in stainless steel tanks. Pauline’s tribute to her grandfather who transmitted her passion for wine, it is beautiful bright and limpid dress, develops nuances of musk and lily, racy and greedy (16 €, it is not expensive).
The Pouilly-sur-Loire L'Ancestral 2022, 100% Chasselas, is very pleasant, of golden color, of great finesse, with the nose of flowers and small dried fruits, harmonious in the mouth, it is a wine very attractive by its distinction of aromas, lively and persistent, ideal on sardine fillets or monkfish with candied tomatoes (7 €).
