Quentin David CHATEAU FAVRAY Pouilly-Fume from France, Loire, Pouilly-Fume by Quentin David Pouilly-Fume

The Montes family owns 14 hectares of vineyard. The wines are made by the daughter, Katia, while her father and her brother run the vineyards. The cellar is small but modern, and the winemaking modern, intelligent and non-interventionist. Katia's aim is to let the grapes express the character of the vineyard, and this she does admirabl (24 x 37.5 cl)

This Pouilly Fumé has a classically gooseberryish character on the nose and is full flavoured and rich on the palate. It is balanced by plenty of concentrated leafy fruit and a lovely fresh acidity that lingers long finish. The Montes family at Domaine de Bel Air are excellent viticulteurs. They have 14 hectares of vineyard and in the past sold most of their production in bulk. Now that their winemaker daughter Katia has arrived on the scene the estate is producing excellent and serious wines. The cellar is small but modern, and the winemaking modern, intelligent and non-interventionist. (12 x 75 cl)

De Ladoucette 200ieme Vendage Pouilly-Fume from France, Loire, Pouilly-Fume by De Ladoucette Loire (12 x 75 cl)

One of the classic vintages for the Loire, with the Sauvignon Blanc reaching the optimum ripeness which often proves so much of a problem. The 1996 Baron de L is a vibrant, golden-green colour which reflects the ripeness of the year. On the nose it is a harmonious blend of strength and freshness with orange peel, grapefruit, beeswax and floral hints. On the palate the fruit is full and elegant showing a mineral complexity combined with herbaceous fruit and zesty acidity. The length is extraordinary and makes Baron de L one of the finest expressions of Sauvignon Blanc. Unlike other Sauvignon Blancs it has the potential to age for 5-10 years and above. (6 x 1.5 Litres)

Discreet the first year, this golden highlighted mineral wine fulfils alls its elegance and finesse after 3 or 4 years of bottle aging. In fact, it deserves to age in order to best fulfill its subtleness.If you have the patience to bottle age it for a dozen years you will be even more surprised! Along the Roman Road a rest stop for carriages once existed known as l'Arret Buffatte. Travelers and horses could take a breather, refresh themselves and eat there. The vines present on this site allow us to produce the cuvée honoring its name -l'Arrêt Buffatte. Situated in a geological cirque at the height of the best hillsides with southwest exposure and overlooking the Loire River, the 35 year-old vines of l'Arrêt Buffatte benefit from all the potential of the Kimmeridgian marls.This makes it possible for us to produce wines for aging of a large aromatic complexity with scents of white flowers and passion fruit.
