Caves de Pouilly Sur Loire

Spread over some 8 Kms. On the slopes of the sunny and sheltered hills bordering on to the right bank of the Loire. Seven "communes" can be found in this region, the rich soil of which is specially suitable for vineyards, and where an ideal exposure ensures a perfect ripeness. Our vine-growers, in this particular climate, can hear cicadas singing amid the hill-sides. [continues...]

We chose this wine for its excellent quality, classic Sauvignon Blanc character and excellent value. It is like a junior Sancerre in style but much more keenly priced. Classic Sauvignon in style and character, it has delicious citrus and grapefruit on the nose and lemony, gooseberry, and green apples in the flavour with a bracing finish. Great value. [read on...]

Pale salmon rose produced 'Seigne' by leaving the grape juice on the black Pinot Noir skins for a few hours to extract a hint of colour. Dry, it has bags of fruit, lively flavour, an appealing crispness and good balance. Can be enjoyed on its own. Perfect for fish, especially shell-fish. [read on...]
