Domaine de Ladoucette Baron de L Pouilly Fume (2017)
750mL / Loire Valley / France
Domaine de Ladoucette is a highly respected estate in the Loire Valley, known for producing exceptional Sauvignon Blanc wines. The Baron de L Pouilly Fumé is one of their flagship wines, and the 2017 vintage is a superb example of this appellation.
On the nose, this wine offers intense aromas of citrus and grapefruit, with a hint of smokiness that is characteristic of Pouilly Fumé. On the palate, it is crisp and refreshing, with lively acidity and flavors of lemon, green apple, and a touch of minerality. The finish is long and zesty, leaving a pleasant, lingering aftertaste.
This wine is made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes, which are hand-harvested and carefully selected for their quality. It is fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged on its lees for several months, which gives it a roundness and complexity that is well-balanced by its freshness and acidity.
