"The 2.3-hectares parcel Champs de Cri in Les Loges produces the most complex, elegant and long-lived FumĂ© of the estate. From vines about 55 years old, the pale golden 2012 Pouilly-FumĂ© Champs de Cri was kept on the lees for several months more than the other cuvĂ©es of the domaine and it is released later. It is a very complex and tightly woven wine, which was totally closed but extremely promising when I tasted it in early August 2014. The nose disclosed most of all the extreme deep mineral foundation of this FumĂ© with subtle hints of citrons, bitter orange, straw, jasmine and elder flowers. On the palate this is a full-bodied, rich, concentrated and multilayered Pouilly-FumĂ© of great elegance and expression. Itâs an aristocratic, extremely well-balanced, fresh and lingering monolith of natural beauty. There are only 600 bottles imported into the US, but each of them is worth a love affair."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Yields crisp, aromatic whites with citrus, herb and grassy notes. It shines in the Loire, Bordeaux blends and around the world for its refreshing zip.
