Masson-Blondelet Pouilly-Fume 75cl 2019

The Masson-Blondelet’s Pouilly Fumé (100% Sauvignon Blanc) is a crisp, mineral & elegant AOC wine stacked with lots of gorgeous, ripe, mineraly, limestone and gun-flint flavours, for which the appellation is renowned. Masson-Blondelet is one of the top five growers in Pouilly-sur-Loire, and a good pouilly-fumé such as this limited quantity and exclusive blend makes a real festive treat, alone or with fish, poultry or cheese.

Harvested on oxfordian limestone soil and Kimmeridgian marls

ALL Masson-Blondelets' 21 Ha. of AOC vines are cultivated using NO herbicide, NO insecticide, NOR any chemical fertiliser. ~ Since 1980 : abandonment of chemical fertiliser on all of our vines. ~ Since 2002 : abandonment of herbicide on all 21 Hectares of vines. ~ Since 2006 : abandonment of insecticide on all 21 Hectares of vines. ~ Mildew control : we use the bare minimum of fungicide, but not only copper, which we think the accumulation in the soils would be harmful for them in the long term. ~ Rainwater collection to fight mildew with demineralised water and thus reduce as much as possible the dose used. The vines are lightly hoed and regularly tilled by hand. Only organic amendments officially agreed for Organic Farming are used at the end of autumn. Treatments are reduced to bare necessities in order to protect fauna and soils, which are crucial for an appropriate development of the vegetation.

Immediate destemming & gentle press after harvest to avoid oxidation. Fermented in stainless steel tanks only under controlled temperature. After cold settling, long conservation on very fine lees to enhance texture & youth character, no malolactic fermentation, no oak.
