The Story

Pouilly-Fumé is very close to Sancerre, in terms of grape variety (same, Sauvignon Blanc) and terroir (just on the other side of the river). Pauline Pabiot is a young and determined women that took over her grand-father’s estate (Roger Pabiot) quite recently. Alone, she is now managing 24 hectares in the very heart of Pouilly sur Loire. 22 hectares of Sauvignon blanc and some acres planted with Chasselas. The vineyards are located close to the shores of the Loire river with a dominance of pebbly and calcareous soil as well as sandy terraces. Pauline is looking for frankness, freshness and purity. The terroir must express itself fully while leaving room for the grape variety. Intense notes of citrus and white flowers, fresh and fruity. Organic conversion since 2021.
