Wine Facts
VITICULTURE: This Pouilly-Fumé is produced from a large parcel located in the Congy region. The vines are planted in Kimmeridgian limestone soils, made up of fossilized shellfish dating back to the quaternary era. This unique soil profile brings out fruity aromas in the finished wine.
VINIFICATION: The winemaking process is traditional, with the use of thermoregulated steel tanks to extract fruity aromas from the Sauvignon Blanc grapes. The wine is then matured in stainless steel.
FAMILY: The Bonnard estate is located in the Saint Andelain district, less than two miles from the renowned town of Pouilly sur Loire. The estate was purchased in 1951 by the great-grandfather of the current owner and winemaker, Christophe Bonnard. Throughout the years the Domaine's production has evolved from livestock and cereal grains to grape growing, though vines have been planted on the estate since 1989.
