The vines of this Pouilly-Loché border the ones of its more famous neighbour, Pouilly-Fuissé, and share the same qualities. Rich in limestone and schist making wines with body, depth and roundness but also with very good freshness.
Winemaking
After a gentle pressing in pneumatic press, the wine is sent to 600L oak barrels, half of which are new. Fermentation happens with natural yeasts and the wine is aged during 12 months before being filtered lightly and bottled.
