Intensity
Sauvignon Blanc rendered sublime by high quality workmanship, for a great Loire wine that brilliantly represents its appellation.
More infoPouilly-Fumé “Les Toupées”, from Domaine Michel Redde et Fils, is a dry white wine made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc. The vines, in Saint-Martin-sur-Nohain are 35 years old on average and thrive on a terroir of Oxfordian limestone of the Jurassic period, traditionally known as “Caillottes”.
The Redde family has been present in this region since 1630, passing this great historic estate from one generation to the next. The estate currently occupies 40 hectares in the heart of the Pouilly-Fumé appellation.
The grapes are harvested by hand into small crates, followed by fermentation and ageing in “foudres” (large wooden tuns) and “demi-muids” (600-litre barrels), for 10 to 12 months on fine lees.
This wine has a golden yellow colour, with a fresh, fruity nose, and a palate dominated by minerality and salinity, enriched by a slightly round finish due to its ageing on lees. This wine should be decanted to reveal its minerality, and has an ageing potential of 10 to 15 years.

About the Producer Michel Redde & Fils
Wine has been running through the veins of the Redde family for almost 400 years. Michel Redde can trace his family's winemaking origins in Pouilly-sur-Loire back to 1630. When he and his wife Simone took up the baton, they expanded the property considerably, buying new vineyard parcels and building La Moynerie, a tasting cellar that attracts visitors travelling on the N7 trunk road. Their son Thierry expanded further in 2001 when he converted the chai into a three-storey, gravity-flow winery. In the vineyards, Michel Redde, his son, and grandsons Sébastien and Romain grow Sauvignon Blanc in the Pouilly-Fumé appellation and Chasselas in the Pouilly-sur-Loire appellation. The 40 hectares of vines are tended with meticulous care and the property is gradually moving over to organic practices. The clay-chalk soils give their wines texture and elegance. Domaine Michel Redde et Fils has an affinity with the distinctive features of each terroir and showcases these to perfection in its single parcel wines.
