Michel Redde et Fils
Blanc Fumé de Pouilly 'Barre à Mine'
| In 2009 Michel Redde began a titanic and unique project in an old disused flint quarry called Les Champs des Froids in the Village of Tracy-sur-Loire. The site has a beautiful south west exposure and they have cleared, prepared and planted 4 hectares of vines on these very rocky flint soils. The vines were planted with the aid of a crowbar (barre à mine) and 2014, the first harvest, revealed an unexpectedly exceptional vintage. | |

| Tasting note |
The nose has notes of exotic pineapple and passion fruit mixed with the flintiness typical of Pouilly-Fume. The palate is full with a spicy, white pepper finish. This wine appreciates decanting to help it reveal its pure minerality, spiciness, salinity and persistence.
