THE STORY

About this wine

Dry, fresh, mineral-driven Pouilly-Fumé, 100% Sauvignon Blanc from the hilltop of Les Loges — intense floral and smoky aromatics, a fleshy, soft palate lifted by fresh acidity, a long, harmonious finish.

Marc Deschamps’s domaine covers about 8.5 hectares in Les Loges, a hamlet of Pouilly-sur-Loire. The wines are made from hand-harvested fruit, fermented in stainless-steel and cement vessels with natural yeasts, and kept on the lees; malolactic fermentation is uncommon. The 2022 bottling is a Sauvignon Blanc Pouilly-Fumé.

Worth knowing

Of the four Pouilly-Fumés Deschamps makes, Les Porcheronnes is the most elegant and sprightly — roughly two hectares on the hilltop of Les Loges, split between La Cote and Les Griottes.

CHARACTERISTICS AND TASTING TIPS OF THE Marc Deschamps Pouilly-Fumé 'Les Porcheronnes' 2022

Tasting

Color: Pale yellow-gold, bright in the glass.
Nose: Intense right out of the glass — flowers up front, smoke and flint behind.
Palate: Fleshy and soft on entry, with fresh, mouthwatering acidity underneath keeping it lively. Grapefruit and lime bring the citrus, with mineral and green apple beneath, and the finish runs long and harmonious — flavor that holds.

Pairs Beautifully With

A must try with fresh, simply prepared seafood
A must try with goat cheese
A must try with lighter savory dishes
