Product Information: The Bouchot Pouilly Fume MCMLV is all about roundness with citrus aromas. The mouth is complex, intense, delivering elegant power at the end. Half of the wine underwent skin contact for several days while the rest was pressed directly into old (8 to 10 years) 500L barrels. Antoine Gouffier's dedication and respect for terroir is on full display in his Sauvignon Blancs from Pouilly-Fumé. His wines display a fruity, floral, and intense minerality. As a young vigneron at the helm of Domaine du Bouchot, his wines express a vibrant, elegant, balanced tension. Antoine is truly raising the bar in this appellation. Maker: In 2019, Antoine Gouffier purchased Domaine du Bouchot, from Rachel and Pascal Kerbiquet who had been running it as a family estate since 1987. As a Loire native himself, Antoine has a profound understanding and connection to the land, which lead him to farm the land organically. In 2009 Domaine du Bouchot was the first in the Pouilly-Fumé appellation to become certified organic, and fittingly Antoine was the one to finalised the biodynamic certification. Bouchot holds 10-hectares, which is mainly planted to Sauvignon Blanc, with a few vines of Chasselas, on the southwest side of the hill from the village of Saint-Andelain. The wines reflect the unmistakable character of each of the vineyards: the Kimmeridgian marl soil is of white clay, limestone, and fossilised oysters from ancient seabeds, and the Portlandian terroir (limestone with layered, small rocks) lend a flinty, mineral quality to the wines - the differentiating characteristics lending to a unique purity and clarity. Domaine du Bouchots wines are excellent representations of a sometimes-overlooked appellation and are vibrant, elegant, and balanced. Philosophy: Antoine believes in minimal intervention in his winemaking, using indigenous yeast and stainless steel for fermentation. He is also experimenting with amphorae. The wines are vinified without sulfur. The Domaine produces three different Pouilly-Fumé: Cuvée Terres Blanches from the Kimmeridgian marl soils, Cuvée Les Caillotes from Portlandian soils, and Cuvée 1955 from the oldest vines on the estate. All fruit is handpicked, the yeasts are indigenous and the wine is made with as little pumping as possible. Aged on its fine lees in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks, the wine is bottled in the spring after a very light filtration. Nose - Lavender, Lemon, Quince Seems at first like a subtle expression of sauvignon, with initial aromas of lavender and light lemony citrus fruit. Palate - Tropical Fruit, Gooseberry, Silky-Texture On the palate you discover a deep-set, complex array of citrus and yellow fruit, together with a whole heap of terroir-driven nuance. Finish - Roundness, Satisfying Grip, Taut A sense of roundness and completeness with a sense of satisfying grip that clasps the palate. Long, mineral finish with some phenolic tightening.

The Cotat estate has a fascinating history that began in 1947 when brothers Francis and Paul started cultivating Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir on the slopes of the renowned "Monts Damnés" in Chavignol. They produced a single cuvée, each bottling under their own labels. Upon their retirement, the estate was divided between their sons, François and Pascal. François continues the family tradition, crafting exceptional Sancerre wines in an organic, old-school style. These wines are known for their distinctive, full-flavored character and are sometimes considered "atypical" to the Sancerre appellation. Pascal Cotat, despite being one of the smallest producers in France with only 2 hectares of vineyards, has earned a remarkable reputation in the Fine Wine world. He is renowned for creating Sauvignon Blancs that possess exceptional aging potential. Pascal's vineyards in Chavignol, specifically the Grande Côte and the Monts Damnés, are home to vines that are over 40 years old, adding to the quality and character of his wines. With a unique approach to harvesting, Pascal waits two weeks longer than other producers in Sancerre, resulting in wines with outstanding ripeness. The winemaking process at Cotat is meticulous, with both wines being fermented in old barrels and aged for 6 to 8 months before being bottled in the spring without any fining or filtration, preserving their natural essence. In a meeting with Pascal in September 2022, he expressed relief regarding the small volumes of the 2020 and 2021 vintages. He was content with the "classic Sancerre" quality of the fruit, which was scheduled to be harvested the day after the meeting. The dry season created optimal conditions for healthy ripening and enhanced aromatics. Moreover, there was some beneficial rain in September that contributed to a 30% increase in yields compared to the low-yielding 2021 vintage, approaching average yields. Cotat wines have gained a reputation for being old-style Sancerre, distinct from the norm found today. They are rich, full-flavored and sometimes not bone-dry. Renowned wine critic Robert Parker has praised Cotat wines, describing them as some of the finest Sauvignon Blancs he has ever tasted. This vineyard is home to François' oldest vines, with an average age of around 40 years. Over time, François has had to replant many of the very old vines due to the susceptibility of Sauvignon to viruses as it ages. Beyond 60 years, the vines become unproductive. Despite this, the vineyard consistently produces the most exuberant wines in the collection. Expect to find enticing notes of tropical fruit accompanied by a fuller texture. However, don't be deceived by these characteristics, as they are harmoniously balanced with incredible finesse, refreshing acidity, and a distinct tactile minerality.
