Purchased by the Comte Lafond, an ancestor of the current owner, Baron Patrick de Ladoucette, Château du Nozet and its surrounding vineyards have a reputation for producing the finest Pouilly-Fumé. The vineyards are in Pouilly-Fumé Contrôlée, which includes Pouilly-sur-Loire, Saint-Andelain and Tracy-sur-Loire at the eastern end of the Loire Valley (including the vineyard of the Château du Nozet estate). Both clay and limestone influence the delicate characteristics in Ladoucette Baron de L Pouilly-Fumé.
This Grande Cuvée of Pouilly Fumé is produced exclusively in the best years and from the first pressing of the estate’s grapes.

“The 2017 Baron de L bottling of Pouilly-Fumé from Domaine de Ladoucette is exceptional in quality. This is a selection made by the Ladoucette team of the finest production 119 in the vineyard and in the cellar and only produced in very high quality vintages. The 2017 version is stellar, offering up great precision and vibrancy in the bouquet of green apple, lime, fresh-cut grass, very complex, flinty minerality, orange peel and a gentle suggestion of botanicals in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, pure and full-bodied, with great focus and cut, bright, zesty acids, superb soil signature and a long, complex and utterly refined and balanced finish. This is truly outstanding Pouilly-Fumé that will clearly age for ten to fifteen years and will be an even better drink with a handful of years in the cellar to further stretch its wings. 2020-2035.”
