Sancerre and Pouilly Fumé
Reading about wine regions never compares to visiting them. There is so much we learn simply by setting foot in the land, looking around at nature and observing the vines adapting to a terroir. In Sancerre and Pouilly Fumé, terroir – this much-debated concept – involves the assembly of diverse soils in a cool continental climate with the allowed grape varieties (Sauvignon Blanc for both and Pinot Noir only for Sancerre) and traditional methods cultivated by growers over the centuries. This is a short video of our impressions of these fascinating regions.
La Tour du Pouilly Fumé
Le territoire de la Communauté de Communes est une terre de vignobles connue pour son AOC « Pouilly Fumé ».
Installé dans un ensemble bâti patrimonial en plein cœur de village, le futur centre des sauvignons associe, dans un concept original, un restaurant, un espace de découverte scénographique, une boutique de terroir, un espace de dégustation, l'office de tourisme, un sentier d'interprétation.
Le projet scénographique est basé sur une expérience sensorielle immersive, et s'éloigne des traditionnels musées du vin tant par l'originalité du discours que par la place accordée à la dégustation, moment incontournable de la rencontre avec un vin.

Ep 232: Loire's Central Vineyards (Sancerre, Pouilly Fume and more!)
It's a small part of the wine world but one you should know: the Central Vineyards of the Loire Valley, which include Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé, Menetou-Salon & others. Great Sauvignon Blanc, up and coming Pinot Noir, and fantastic rosé. History, soils and dorkiness abound in this podcast, which will make your mouth water and have you running out to get these wines ASAP!
The Central Loire Vineyards: Overview
In the center of the Loire Valley, in the heart of France. All of the Central Vineyard appellations are within 80 kilometres (50 miles) of center of France Continental climate with decent rainfall
Appellations
Sancerre
White, red, and rosé 3 main types of soil in the two appellations: Limestone (known locally as caillottes) – vines planted on white rock Kimmeridgean terres blanches (clay limestone) Silex (flint) In Sancerre, the caillottes and terres blanches account for 40% each and silex accounts for 20% of vineyard soils Often steepest vineyards best: Bué, Chavignol, Champtin Producers: Alphonse Mellot, Domaines Fouassier and Vacheron, Lucien Crochet
Pouilly-Fumé and Pouilly-sur-Loire –
Pouilly-Fumé only Sauvignon Blanc Pouilly-sur-Loire only Chasselas Soils -- similar to Sancerre Producers: Alexandre Bain, Domaine Didier Dagueneau, Ladoucette Difference between Pouilly and Sancerre:
Sancerre is a more cohesive appellation, Pouilly has no clear centre – not touristy Sancerre has strong leading producers: Alphonse Mellot, Jean-Marie Bourgeois, Denis Vacheron and others, to promote the appellation. Pouilly – no cohesion: the late Didier Dagueneau attacked lax practices of his fellow producers. Ladoucette is largest producer is Pouilly -- is an international businessman based in Paris Pouilly has been lower quality than Sancerre in recent years. Shows promise but Sancerre is better quality and reliable
Menetou-Salon
Southwest of Sancerre: More gently rolling than that of Sancerre Vineyards more dispersed than Pouilly and Sancerre, more variable Revival going on now Producers: Pierre and Isabelle Clément, Domaine du Chatenoy, Domaine Philippe Gilbert Quincy
All Sauvignon Blanc First appellation created in Loire Flattest of the areas, prone to hail Reuilly
Dry, crisp Sauv Blanc with some Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris for red and dry rosé Slightly better than Quincy Coteaux du Giennois
Vines are close to the Loire, mostly on its eastern bank Light-bodied, fruity and crisp, dry Sauvignon Blanc Reds have to be PN and Gamay blend – not good Dry rosé good The limestone soil is flinty.
Châteaumeillant – only 1% exported,
Although included in the Central Loire, Châteaumeillant is apart from the rest - in the northern foothills of the Massif Central Granitic soil (Granite) Specializes in rosé wine known as vin gris, reds from Gamay and Pinot Noir grapes
