LADOUCETTE – Pouilly-Fumé “Baron de L” 2023
Loire Valley, France
Baron de Ladoucette “Baron de L” 2023 is one of the most refined and prestigious expressions of Pouilly-Fumé, crafted from the finest parcels of Sauvignon Blanc grown on the region’s renowned silex (flint) soils.
Produced only in select vintages, “Baron de L” represents the pinnacle of Ladoucette’s production. The 2023 vintage is particularly vibrant and precise, highlighting the purity of fruit alongside the classic smoky minerality that defines great Pouilly-Fumé.
Pale gold with bright green reflections. The nose is lifted and expressive, offering lime zest, grapefruit, green apple, and white peach, layered with notes of flint, smoke, fresh herbs, and delicate floral tones. The palate is crisp, energetic, and beautifully linear, with flavours of citrus, pear, and wet stone, finishing long, saline, and elegant.
