A family estate of 21 hectares, including some parcels of vines of more than
80 years old, run by two sons, Gérard and Bernard, who
combine traditional practices with the modern techniques they have learned
in legendary wine-growing areas: Beaune, Macon and Bordeaux. The estate is
planted on the best hillsides overlooking the Loire, with very
representative soils of the region: hard limestone, flinty clay, sandy
terraces and Kimmeridgian marl, with each type of soil contributing its own
qualities and creating a wine which has very particular characteristics on a
terroir which does not. Their Pouilly-Fumé Cuvée Silex is quite
superb, combining complexity and finesse, with a subtle nose of notes of
honey, flowers and spices. The mouth is very marked by the soils, giving it
a mineral taste and great freshness. It is a racy, very well-balanced,
powerful, ample wine with very good development. The Pouilly-Fumé Coteau des
Girarmes is remarkable, with notes of fresh fruit and lime-tree, a fleshy,
aromatic wine which is ample, fruity and lasting in the mouth. A member of
the Individual Wineries Federation.
