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, an unexpectedly exceptional vintage, was the first harvest. | |

| Tasting note |
A focused nose, displaying intense aromas of exotic pineapple and passion fruit with flinty notes typical of Pouilly-Fume. The palate is full with a spicy, white pepper finish and continued minerality and freshness. It is recommended to decanter before serving.
