White WineDomaine du Bouchot Pouilly-Fumé “MCMLV” 2020
Since 1966, Domaine du Bouchot has been crafting wines of distinction. The 10-hectare estate is located in the traditional region of Pouilly-Fumé on the right bank of the Loire Valley. In 2018, Antoine Gouffier and his wife took over the estate, bringing modern views to this classic area.
The 2020 Pouilly Fume MCMLV hails from Domaine du Bouchot’s oldest plot of vines dating back to 1955 hence the name MCMLV. It had undergone an unusual winemaking process: half of the wine underwent skin contact for several days while the rest was pressed directly into old (8-10 year old) 500L barrels. This wine shows lots of thiol-related flavours: tropical fruit, gooseberry as well as a hint of green. It is wine with lots of texture, a sense of roundness and completeness with a sense of satisfying grip that clasps the palate on the finish. There’s lovely acidity, but it’s nicely balanced. 93 points, Rebecca Gibb, Vinous.
