This wine is characterized by its intense aromas of citrus fruits, particularly grapefruit, as well as hints of white flowers, fresh grass and mineral notes. On the palate, Domaines De Ladoucette Pouilly-Fumé is fresh, crisp and lively with a zesty acidity that balances the citrus flavors. This wine has a long and elegant finish that lingers in the mouth, making it an ideal pairing for seafood, grilled chicken, salads and vegetable dishes. Domaines De Ladoucette Pouilly-Fumé is a perfect example of the world-renowned French winemaking tradition and a must-try for any wine aficionado.

Tasting Notes

The expression gradually opens up to rich notes, revealing fine notes of flowers and white fruits. The very present clay-limestone white soils give birth to a full-bodied and structured wine, whose aromas develop slowly. The frank attack then turns towards a great roundness with a silky character at the end of the palate. The finesse of the finish and length on the palate are accompanied by notes of white fruit.

About the Winery

Domaines De Ladoucette

The Domaines de Ladoucette is a French wine estate that has a rich history that dates back to the 18th century. The Comtes Lafond family owns this vineyard in the Pouilly Fume region of France. Currently, this is not only the biggest but the most popular vineyard of this locality.

Baron Patrick de Ladoucette wanted to make some of the most exceptional and unique French wines through this label, when it was established. He achieved this dream, when he crafted the rare Cuvee, Baron de L, a wine that represented the blend of wonderful terroirs and great craftsmanship. Today, this wine is considered one of the finest and most authentic Sauvignon wines in the world.

After exhibiting his finesse in Pouilly Fume, Baron Patrick de Ladoucette took control of the Sancerre vineyards and showcased his exceptional winemaking skills there as well. He ensured that he carried forward the rich legacy of the Comtes Lafond family in the vintages produced in the Sancerre vineyards.

After a few years, Patrick acquired the Clos de la Poussie, which was regarded as the mythical vineyard of Sancerre for many reasons. The strategic location of this vineyard, coupled with its natural amphitheatre-like structure facing south has helped this vineyard make one of the most exceptional crus in the world today – the Haut de la Poussie.

Here is a brief about the flagship wine of this label:

Baron de L – This wine is made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc varietal and has an ageing potential of 8 to 10 years.  In the first step, the grapes are carefully sorted so that they are not crushed. Gravity is used to move the grapes to the second stage of winemaking. In the last step, the juice is chilled in a cooling system for temperature-regulation purposes. Stainless steel vats are used for fermenting these wines.
