NV Nicolas Gaudry Les Porcheronnes Pouilly-Fume

Pure Loire Sauvignon Blanc. “Les Porcheronnes” comes from hillside parcels in the hamlet of Les Loges, where clay-limestone soils shape a wine that feels precise, mineral, and quietly expressive. Vines averaging roughly 35 years dig deep into the stony ground, pulling tension and freshness straight into the fruit. Fermented gently and aged on fine lees, the wine keeps its natural energy while gaining subtle texture. Citrus brightness meets flinty nuance and a clean, focused structure that stays elegant from first sip to the final mineral echo.

Nose: Lemon zest, lime peel, and white peach rise first, followed by crushed stone, flint, and a faint herbal lift typical of Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc.

Palate: Bright acidity drives the wine. Citrus and orchard fruit glide across a crisp, medium-bodied frame while a strong mineral core adds tension and keeps the texture sleek.

Finish: Long, stony, and precise. Lingering citrus peel and subtle saline minerality leave a clean, smoky echo that defines classic Pouilly-Fumé.

Seafood brings this wine alive. Fresh oysters, grilled sea bass, or delicate shellfish highlight its saline edge, while classic Loire goat cheese draws out the wine’s citrus lift and mineral depth.
