In each bottle from the vineyards of Patrice Moreux you will above all be tasting the passion, the knowledge and a constant search for the truth, a philosophy where nature is the queen, leaving no place for any chemical interference or external yeasts. All ferments are natural and wines are made with the greatest respect for their terroirs.

This parcel is part of the original vineyard of Pouilly, and was in fact the first cultivated one in the appellation by the Benedictine monks of the 11th century. They were the winemakers of their age, great herbalists, and had a direct link to nature, and they quickly understood that this place was ideal for growing vines.

Facing due South, overlooking the Loire, it benefits from the first rays of sunlight, more warmth throughout the day, and also an exceptional terroir, 100% Kimmeridgean marl, with poor fertility, where the concentration of limestone is the highest in Pouilly. Thus in their eyes, it was a natural place to plant vines.

Tasting Notes: It opens pure and subtle on the nose but is nonetheless quite complex for an introductory wine, reminiscent of crushed stones and gravel as well as fresh white and green fruits. Perfectly round and elegant on the palate, this is an intense, immediately attractive, medium-to-full-bodied Pouilly with a solid mineral finish and fruity charm. An excellent introduction to the Corty universe.

This is an awesome wine.
