The 2024 Domaine de Ladoucette Pouilly-Fumé is a benchmark Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc, showcasing the classic mineral-driven elegance of this renowned appellation. Sourced from estate vineyards rich in flint and limestone, it reflects a refined and terroir-focused style. The nose is expressive and complex, with citrus, grapefruit and white peach layered with white flowers, tropical hints and the signature smoky “gunflint” minerality.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied and vibrant, offering crisp acidity, fresh citrus and orchard fruit balanced by a chalky, mineral backbone. The texture is smooth yet precise, leading to a long, dry and elegant finish with lingering freshness and subtle savoury notes.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a classic Pouilly-Fumé and a must-have for Sauvignon Blanc lovers seeking a more mineral, refined style. Ideal for customers who enjoy Sancerre or high-quality Loire whites. Not overly fruity—focused on precision, minerality and elegance. Drink now or over the next 4–6 years. Perfect with oysters, seafood, goat’s cheese or light French dishes.
