Domaine Les Ormousseaux - Pouilly-Fumé - Cuvée Fumette 2023
Domaine Les Ormousseaux is located in Saint-Père and produces wines in the Coteaux du Giennois and Pouilly-Fumé appellations. In 2021, Clément Jolivet , originally from Cosne-Cours-sur-Loire and from a family involved in Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé wines, took over the estate with Riandri Visser , a South African oenologist specializing in Sauvignon Blanc. Together, they undertook the conversion of the estate to organic farming. Their approach to winemaking is focused on showcasing the terroir while preserving the purity of the fruit.
Fumette is made from Sauvignon Blanc grown on ancient soils rich in flint and sand, which gives the wine a more generous fruity expression while retaining the characteristic minerality of Pouilly-Fumé. The grapes are selected from a specific section of one of the estate's plots. They are pressed and only the heart of the juice is retained to preserve the acidity. After cold settling overnight in stainless steel vats, fermentation also takes place in stainless steel vats .
Grape variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
