The vineyards are in Pouilly-Fumé Contrôlée, which includes Pouilly-sur-Loire, Saint-Andelain and Tracy-sur-Loire at the eastern end of the Loire Valley (including the vineyard of the Château du Nozet estate). Both clay and limestone influence the delicate characteristics in Ladoucette Baron de L Pouilly-Fumé.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Grande Cuvée of Pouilly Fumé is produced exclusively in the best years and from the first pressing of the estate’s grapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vintagenotes expandablenote\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"trigger\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"note expanding\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe winemaking chais is made up of three levels. The first level is where the grapes are received and sorted without crushing keeping the grapes from the different parcels separate. The juice then flows (without pumps or screws) simply by gravity to the second level where the pressing with the division of the juice à la champenoise takes place. The third level is where the wine is clarified using a cooling system to regulate the temperature of the juice with maceration pulpaire. This wine is fermented in stainless steel vats thermostatically regulated to 18ºC for 6-8 weeks. This wine is on lees for 3-6 months with regular agitation. The wine is never placed in wooden barrels in order to preserve the natural aromas of the grapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"techinfo expandablenote\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"trigger\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTECHNICAL INFORMATION\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"notes expanding\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietals:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e100% Sauvignon Blanc\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAging Potential:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFrom eight to ten years\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Domaine de Ladoucette","offers":[{"title":"750 mL","offer_id":43090558812352,"sku":"BDL-W18-750","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/4310\/4704\/products\/2018BarondeL-AngryWineMerchant.png?v=1660396870","url":"https:\/\/angrywinemerchant.com\/products\/domaine-de-ladoucette-baron-de-l-2018","provider":"Angry Wine Merchant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
