Tasting notes
This is a wine that radiates some serious class with flavours of pear, zippy goosberry, and an incredibly delicate smokeyness on the round up. This is quite substantial, with super floral with fleshy, ripe stonefruits, and faintly peachy on the palate. Really good intensity, and a lovely citrus zest and salinity. Fine lees influence is apparent in the almost spicy minerality hidden under its summer breeze mellowness.
More About The Winery
Since 2018, with the arrival of Antoine Gouffier, Domaine du Bouchot has brought new energy and vision to Pouilly-Fumé. After twelve years away, Antoine returned to his native land to craft wines that respect both life and terroir, reviving an appellation that had been drifting into convention.
The domaine covers just over 10 hectares of Sauvignon Blanc in Saint-Andelain, farmed with a deep commitment to sustainability: certified Organic since 2009 (the first in the appellation) and Demeter-certified Biodynamic since 2020. This long-term transformation, initiated by former owners Rachel and Pascal Kerbiquet, is now carried forward with Antoine’s precision and passion.
His philosophy emphasizes perfect ripening — with harvests later than the regional norm — to produce wines of depth, freshness, and individuality. The approach mirrors the Burgundian model, focusing on the soil-vine-exposure balance to highlight terroir.
Recognized as “Discovery of the Year 2022” by Revue du Vin de France, Domaine du Bouchot’s first vintages under Antoine have stood out in blind tastings, confirming its place among the most exciting new voices of Pouilly-Fumé.
