The nose expresses heady flowers, pastry and verbena, then with aeration reveals a rich, solar profile. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, fluid and acidic, with yellow and white fruits and a saline finish accented by citrus zest.

About the domain :
Marius Tabordet is part of a young generation that's shaking things up lines in Pouilly-Fumé (16 ha) and Sancerre (6 ha). He has won the confidence of his father Pascal and initiated the change to organic farming (certification in 2021), then began the conversion to biodynamic viticulture. Vinification and ageing have been adjusted to produce to produce freer-flowing wines, far removed from the narrow whites still found in the area. And the whole clientele has changed! The wines are closer to their terroir. The sincerity meticulousness, smooth flesh and gourmandise of these cuvées enchant us. The delicious "domaine" cuvées, both red and white both red and white. We also salute the work done to isolate cuvées by terroir type of terroir: in Pouilly-Fumé, Les Petites Aubues (limestone), Les Champs des Chaumes (Kimmeridgian marl), L'Autre Rive (flint); and in Sancerre, La Belle Oreille (limestone). Sancerre, La Belle Oreille (limestone). Welcome to the guide!
