Pouilly Fumé Saint-Andelain 2022 - Domaine de Berthiers

Pouilly Fumé Saint-Andelain  - Domaine de Berthiers 

The Pouilly Fumé Saint-Andelain by Domaine de Berthiers is a white wine that expresses the typical traits of sauvignon and above all the complexity and finesse typical of those who know how to make wine really well. Of great freshness with pleasant hints of exotic fruit and a subtle mineral puff, almost smoky with flint, it is vinified in steel and aged on the lees for eight months.

Service

It is recommended to taste it at a temperature of 8/10 ° in tulip goblets. Wine to drink immediately but left a few years in the cellar can give great emotions.

Pairing

Great with fish starters, light first courses, to try with an octopus on potato cream.

Cellar: Domaine de Berthiers

The Domaine de Berthiers is located in the hamlet of Berthiers, in the village of Saint-Andelain, a small commune in the heart of the Loire and adjacent to Pouilly sur Loire. The estate was owned by one of the key personalities of the Pouilly-Fumé region, Jean-Claude Dagueneau. As his health became more of an issue to manage the vineyards, the Domaine became part of Domaine Fournier. Today the Domaine extends over eleven hectares of vineyards, which are located on the siliceous hill to the southwest along the Loire river opposite the Sancerre vineyards. The plants are twenty to thirty years old and are found on a calcareous and siliceous soil, typical of the area, capable of giving white wines of great minerality. Few fertilizers in the vineyard, low yields, winter grassing, spring harrowing and of course... no synthetic chemistry! Prepackaged recipes are not followed in the cellar, each vintage has its own story. What unites the approach of each wine is instead the rejection of corrective oenology. Indigenous yeasts for fermentation, very limited use of sulphites, no forced clarification, long refinements. Thus was born a kaleidoscope of bottles, colors and interpretations, united by a great expressive spontaneity and a rare gustatory energy.
