Flavour Profile

Tasting Notes...

Ladoucette Baron de L Pouilly Fume is made in a similar way to a champagne Cuvee where the grapes are selected from only the finest Grand Cru vineyards in best years and the wines vinified separately (from the first pressing only) then skillfully blended together.

On the nose it is a harmonious blend of strength and freshness with orange peel, grapefruit, beeswax and floral hints. On the palate the fruit is full and elegant showing a mineral complexity combined with herbaceous fruit and zesty acidity; delicious ripe pear flavours overlay a firm gooseberry structure.The length is extraordinary and makes Baron de L one of the finest expressions of Loire Sauvignon Blanc. It has the potential to age for ten years or more

Our Alternative Wines

Dom Perignon Brut Vintage Champagne (Gift Boxed)

Tasting Notes...

Dom Perignon Vintage Champagne is the flagship wine from the House of Moet et Chandon.
A vintage, Cellar Master, Vincent Chaperon is convinced has been misguidedly overlooked. 54% Chardonnay, 46% Pinot Noir. Dosage 5g/l.
Amazingly, obviously, Dom P on the nose – the powerful lemon-mousse nose came soaring out of the glass long before my nose got anywhere near it. Massive intensity of complex aroma hints that this might be a little blowsy on the palate but not a bit of it. It's really tense and tight on the palate and has a certain fumey smokiness to the very concentrated palate. But its most marked feature is the persistence of the finish. This, along with the concentration, makes us confident we will be seeing this in a Plentitude 2 version in later years. Jancis Robinson scored 18.5/20

Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc

Tasting Notes...

There is no doubt that this beautifully balanced and aromatic wine lives up to its reputation with an intensely flavoured, distinctive varietal character.

An ideal alternative for Sancerre and Pouilly FumÌ© fans, this wine gives a little more in bouquet and palate. The pale, straw-coloured Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc glints with green, and is enticingly fragrant with lifted elderflower notes, tropical aromas of ripe peach, passion fruit, mango and citrus with hints of fennel and a touch of Pastis. The palate is ripe, fine and succulent, offering zesty ripe citrus flavours coupled with an edge of minerality and sweet herbs. A small barrel ferment component gives balancing flesh to the wine‰Ûªs crisp refreshing acidity

We say...
