DOMAINE MASSON-BLONDELET
Masson-Blondelet Estate cultivate its vines with no weed-killer, no insecticide & no chemical fertiliser. 21 Ha of AOC Pouilly-Fumé & Sancerre. Winegrowers & makers in Pouilly for 7 generations, their wines are served in many Michelin-starred-restaurants and regularly awarded by the most famous guides and magazines. Jean Michel Masson Blondelet, now supported by his daughter and son, Mélanie and Pierre, has been making his trademark Pouilly Fumé for more than 30 years. His constant improvements in the vineyards and search for perfection in the cellar have slowly brought the domaine to the very top of the appellation. The vineyards are planted on limestone with a mix of clay and flint, which adds finesse and complexity to the wines. They are very attractive in their youth, but surprisingly, can age well for several years.
Grapes:Sauvignon Blanc
Taste:This Sancerre is just full of rich ripe fruit, and so elegant. Well balanced with round, ripe gooseberryish flavours and a luscious almost honeyed finish.
