Mineral complex Pouilly-Fumé of silex soil | |
The prestige wine of the small-scale family estate Redde | |
Made from 100% hand-harvested Sauvignon |
100% hand-picked Sauvignon Blanc
Beautiful, elegant dry white wine with a rich aroma of floral and mineral nuances and ripe fruit. The taste is soft, round and full and develops a long balanced finish. Particularly beautiful with refined dishes of fish or poultry; decant an hour beforehand if necessary.
Loire as no one knows it yet
The name Redde is inextricably linked to excellent quality Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire. It was Michel Redde who, together with his wife, built up the impressive vineyard property in Pouilly-Fumé in the 1950s. Their son Thierry is responsible for the modern three-storey winery, where vinification is done using gravity. Grandsons Sébastien and Romain are now also fully involved in the domain. Their common goal? Creating the most beautiful expression of grape, terroir and harvest year.
What is special about the vineyards of the Redde family is that they are spread over Pouilly-sur-Loire and are therefore characterized by different soil types. This beautiful, fresh dry white wine comes from a very special vineyard, called Les Champs des Froids. To make this old flint quarry suitable for planting vines, the huge, rock-hard flint blocks first had to be blown up with explosives. The name Barre à mine – a mining tool – is therefore an appropriate reference to this titanic job.
The sauvignon blanc grapes for this crisply dry, complex Pouilly-Fumé are harvested by hand. After harvesting, the wine is fermented in large wooden barrels, followed by aging for several months in contact with the yeast residues, also in wood. The result is an amazing white Loire wine with an intense freshness and which, thanks to the high concentration of flavour, can easily mature for ten years in the bottle. To fully appreciate the complex, mineral character, we advise you to decant the wine.
