Domaine Seguin 48 ter, rue Louis-Joseph Gousse Le Bouchot, 58150 Pouilly-sur-Loire
Pouilly Fumé is a dry white wine produced in the Loire region of France from the Sauvignon Blanc grape. This wine is characterised by its fresh, mineral and savoury style with good acidity. A fine example is this Cuvée Prestige from Domaine Seguin, made from Sauvignon Blanc grapes from three particular vineyard parcels, which are harvested late. After destemming, the grapes are pressed and the must obtained is fermented in temperature-controlled steel tanks for about 18 days. The wine is then left to mature on its fine lees for a period of 3 to 6 months. This practice, common in the production of Pouilly Fumé, contributes to giving the wine greater aromatic complexity and a richer structure. During this period, the lees, i.e. the solid residues of vinification, are left in suspension in the wine and periodically stirred to encourage oxidation and the release of aromatic compounds. The result is a complex white with aromas ranging from floral to fruity notes, with a fine mineral undertone that recalls the particular composition of the soils of Pouilly-sur-Loire. The Cuvée Prestige is particularly suited to accompany first and second courses based on fish, such as monkfish.
The history of Domaine Seguin began in the 19th century, when the Roumier family had 1.5 hectares under vine in Berthiers, in the Loire. Today, the estate has a total of 19 hectares under vine. The helm is in the hands of Philippe, who represents the sixth generation of the family. The cellar is currently on three levels and uses gravity during vinification. It also has a tasting room where it welcomes visitors, including many foreign distributors.
