Domaine du Bouchot Pouilly-Fumé “Terres Blanches” 2021

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 2021 Terres Blanches is round and silky with a fine chalky texture that provides a fine, appetising texture on the finish. It is satisfying with a delightful thread of acidity that keeps it together and your mouth watering. There’s an appealing elderflower character with a subtle creamy background, likely due to malo and time on lees, but there’s plenty of precision here. The finish is like a triangle - ting! 92 points, Rebecca Gibb, Vinous.
