Domaine Denizot crafts this Pouilly Fumé with striking fruit intensity while maintaining the precision that defines the house style. A mineral Sauvignon Blanc that balances the flintiness of silex with the depth of chalk.
The Pouilly Fumé 2025 from Domaine Denizot unfolds with subtlety and elegance. Based in Verdigny at the gates of Sancerre, Domaine Denizot has extended six generations of winemaking expertise to the neighbouring Pouilly Fumé appellation since 2019. This is a racey, mineral Sauvignon Blanc, caught between the finesse of flint and the richness of limestone.
Terroir and vineyard
The cuvée blends two terroirs: Boisfleury village (91.30 ares) and Saint Andelain village (98.09 ares). Silex from the Saint Andelain ridge brings flintstone minerality and tension, while Boisfleury's limestone adds density and structure. Vines are planted at 6,500 feet per hectare and range from 35 to 55 years old. Pneumatic pressing is slow and gentle, followed by rigorous settling. Fermentation happens in concrete and stainless steel tanks, with ageing on lees for roughly a year in concrete. The wine is dry, fined and unfiltered. Cellar work is minimal, carried out only when necessary to preserve the natural sensory character of the fruit.
On the palate
This Sauvignon Blanc speaks with restraint and delicacy, leaning toward tension rather than obvious fruit. Flint from the silex marries the chalky density of limestone. The palate is fine and precise, the finish clean and fresh.
The domaine
Domaine Denizot is a family property in Verdigny, near Sancerre. Jennifer and Thibauld Denizot now run the estate, carrying forward six generations of craft. The vineyard sits mainly on Sancerre's limestone terroirs, with Sauvignon Blanc prominent among whites and Pinot Noir among reds. Since 2019, the domaine has also farmed parcels in Pouilly Fumé across Boisfleury's chalks and Saint Andelain's silex.
Food pairing
Enjoy this Pouilly Fumé as an aperitif, or with shellfish, grilled fish and goat cheese. Serve well chilled between 8 and 10°C and drink it in its youth for its tension.
