Pouilly-Fumé AOC – Les Duchesses 2020 – Laporte

Hand-harvested grapes undergo a low-temperature vinification process in stainless steel tanks for 10 days, without malolactic fermentation. The wine is then aged on fine lees for five months before resting in the bottle for at least one more month.

In the glass, it displays a golden hue with greenish reflections. 

The nose reveals refined and well-developed citrus aromas intertwined with flinty, smoky notes.

On the palate, a clean and light attack gives way to a well-balanced roundness, supported by a fresh, citrus-driven vibrancy.

The bottle aging further enhances the wine’s signature “smoky” character, a hallmark of Pouilly wines.

This Loire Valley white embodies finesse and elegance, offering a harmonious balance between freshness, minerality, and aromatic complexity.
