Located in the heart of the Pouilly-Fumé appellation, the Bouchié-Chatellier Estate is a gem of French viticulture. Nestled in the Loire Valley, this 23-hectare property perfectly illustrates the exceptional diversity of French terroir. The estate is nestled on the slopes of Pouilly-sur-Loire, which have a unique microclimate suitable for the production of white wines. The soils are sedimentary, largely composed of marl and limestone, as well as flint, giving the wines a specific, structured, and mineral character. The estate's vines are primarily planted with Sauvignon blanc, the emblematic grape variety of the appellation. Since its establishment in 1900, the wine estate has always been run by the Bouchié family. Today, Jean-Claude Bouchié and his son William continue to keep the traditions alive whilst also innovating to offer high quality wines that meet the requirements of organic wine certification. At the Bouchié-Chatellier Estate, the vine is worked with passion, with complete respect for the environment. The harvests are exclusively manual, which allows for a rigorous selection of grapes at optimal maturity. The estate has considerable freedom when it comes to winemaking, with cuvées either vinified in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fruit's freshness, or in oak barrels for more complex and structured wines. The wines of the Bouchié-Chatellier Estate stand out for their finesse, aromatic precision, and freshness on the palate. They wonderfully reflect the terroir of Pouilly-Fumé, with a rich aromatic palette, dominated by notes of citrus, white flowers, and a hint of mineral typical of flint.
