Rated 92-Points Wine Enthusiast
This young wine shows structure and a strong steely character that is masking the fruit. All will improve as the wine matures, with ripe herbal and citrus flavors shining through the texture. Drink from 2021.
Notes
An excellent Sauvignon Blanc from the right bank of the Loire. Pouilly Fume. Pleasant notes of grapefruit. Delicious ripe acidity. Easy to drink as an aperitif, or paired with Scallops and other sea food dishes.
One Woman Army
Annick Tinel-Blondelet has managed the Estate since 1983, after earning her diploma in Viticulture and Oenologie in Beaune. Passionate about nature, she aims to produce wines that match her personality : authentic, frank and full of vitality. Currently, the Estate stretches over 15 Hectares of wines divided into 3 appellations: Pouilly Fumé, Sancerre and Pouilly sur Loire.
As she cultivates her three grape varieties (Sauvignon, Chasselas and Pinot Noir), from three different terroirs (Kimmeridgian marls, Villiers Limestones, Silex) Annick is driven by the desire to preserve the typicity of the wines. Their diversity contributes to the production of authentic wines, reflective of their origins.
Great concern for the environment inspired a lutte raisonnée approach to viticulture; this method has been in place for numerous years in order to care for the vines, the biodiversity, and future generations. Finally, in order to manage and care for the vineyard, and to produce quality wines, the Estate possesses a modern, fully equipped cellar and Annick is surrounded by a serious and skilled staff.
A winegrower family for more than 400 years
Annick Tinel-Blondelet took over the Estate from her parents, Camille & Fernand, in 1983. She represents the 12th generation of winegrowers in the family. Indeed, the story would have begun with Guillaume Blondelet, winegrower at Chaulgnes, at the end of the XVIth century. Regarding Camille, the tracks of the first winegrowers in the family go back to 1650s with Louis Figeat.
The Estate in Fernand’s days
More than 50 years ago, Fernand Blondelet was cultivating a few hectares of vines in the heart of Pouilly sur Loire, in addition to his other agricultural and farming endeavors. Over time , he decided to focus his activity exclusively on viticulture. He became the first to open a wine-tasting cellar, « A la Cave du Vigneron », along the famous Nationale 7. The cellar exists to this day. Later, he took the opportunity to buy some plots of vines in Thauvenay, a village close to Sancerre. Thanks to this acquisition it was possible to work on a new appellation: “Sancerre”. Today, this vineyard remains a very valuable one for the estate.
