Pouilly-Fumee

BARON DE L

POUILLY FUMEE, LOIRE, FRANCE,





My friends call me the wine poet because I think the wine is more than just
a "brevage" something for when your thirsty , It's a moment you share with
your friends or the person you love, could be a night out or a romantic
dinner, but, always as we say in Bordeaux " with aged all I could remember
are sweet moments a glass of wine in my hand". Since I am in england I
discover the joy of a late fish and chips or watching eastenders, a good
Banger and mash in a pub , watching Arsenal on TV. For all those moments in
this moments I tend to sip a glass of Pouilly-Fumee made with Sauvignon
Blanc from Loire Valley in center France , clear with green edges, lots of
perfume spicy and musk, that wine is more mineral and floral than is cousin
the Sancerre, in Loire there is a long history of English and French
occupation , all the King had there castle or their mistress castle around ,
one in particular the Chateau du Nozet was the residence of an illegitimate
daughter of Louis XV (one of many). The estate is part of the domain of
Baron Patrick de Ladoucette, who run the family business since 1787 . The
main estate is already a pleasure for the eyes with five gardeners employed
all the year around to maintain the elegant gardens and it is the same care
in the vineyard . They is as well lots of blackcurrant bushes for making the
famous "creme de cassis" for the Kir Royal of course as we are in the
Valleys of Kings !! of France !! . The Baron de L is a prestige cuvee that
was first instituted in 1975 and made only the best years as 1988, 1989,1990
or 2000 a must for a king's table an still served at the Elysees palace with
orange peel, grapefruit, silex and a fabulous finish a really strong bone
dry wine presented in an old fashion bottle to give you even more pleasure,
as being in 1700 or 1800 at Versailles, so just relax, enjoy and share for
the first dinner with a new lover or over a romantic dinner to say "I love
you ! You are my queen!".
