Domaine du Bouchot - Pouilly-Fume 'Terres Blanches' White 2023

Located in the heart of Pouilly-Fumé, Domaine du Bouchot is a rising reference of the Loire Valley, known for crafting wines of precision, energy, and strong terroir identity.

The vineyards are planted on a mosaic of soils, including the region’s emblematic silex (flint), which plays a key role in shaping the character of the wines. This terroir, combined with a cool climate, allows Sauvignon Blanc to express both aromatic intensity and striking minerality.

The domaine follows a biodynamic approach, working closely with nature to enhance soil life and vine balance. In the cellar, interventions are kept to a minimum, with fermentations often carried out using indigenous yeasts and ageing in a combination of stainless steel, concrete, and occasionally neutral vessels to preserve purity.

The style of Domaine du Bouchot’s Pouilly-Fumé is vibrant and precise. Expect citrus, green apple, white flowers, and smoky flinty notes, with a palate that is tense, linear, and saline, finishing with remarkable freshness.

Far from overly expressive or aromatic styles, these wines favour restraint and structure, offering a more gastronomic interpretation of Sauvignon Blanc.

Domaine du Bouchot captures the modern face of Pouilly-Fumé: pure, mineral-driven wines with energy and elegance, perfectly suited to both refined pairings and precise, contemporary wine lists.
