LADOUCETTE – Pouilly-Fumé “Baron de L” 2022
Loire Valley, France
Baron de Ladoucette “Baron de L” 2022 is one of the finest expressions of Pouilly-Fumé, produced only in select vintages from the estate’s best parcels of Sauvignon Blanc grown on the region’s iconic silex (flint) soils.
This cuvée represents the pinnacle of Ladoucette’s production—crafted with meticulous vineyard selection and precise vinification to highlight purity, minerality, and finesse. The 2022 vintage offers a beautiful balance between ripe fruit and vibrant freshness, with excellent precision.
Pale gold with bright green reflections. The nose is expressive and refined, offering lime, grapefruit, and white peach, layered with notes of flint, smoke, fresh herbs, and delicate white flowers. The palate is crisp, linear, and mineral-driven, with flavours of citrus, green apple, and wet stone, finishing long, elegant, and saline.
