La Poussie Sancerre Blanc 1998

The vineyard’s origins can be traced back to the Capetians, as witnessed by a document dating from around 1040. Following the French Revolution, the property was divided into 250 parcels. It took 70 years of perseverance and negotiation to bring it back to a sole ownership under the direction of the Baron de Ladoucette.

The exceptional vineyard site with its natural amphitheater of an almost perfect semi-circle of 180° make it one of the most unique in the world. La Poussie is “a jewel in the Sancerre.” The famous 45° steep sloping hillsides of the vineyard provide great sun exposure for the vines.

The Sauvignon Blanc gives the La Poussie Sancerre a light, fruity yet dry taste, infused with the clay and limestone soil. From its stretches of Pinot Noir vines, La Poussie also gives us a balanced Sancerre Rosé while reserving its choicest Pinot Noir grapes to create the delicate Sancerre Rouge.
