Eric Marchand spent his childhood in the vineyards helping his parents, who instilled in him a deep love for the land. He went on to study viticulture and then, after graduation he and his brother Pascal took over from their father. Across their 17ha the brothers practise minimum intervention as well as conducting green harvests and de-budding in the spring to improve quality further. The soil is analysed to determine if fertiliser is required or not and treatments only carried out if essential. The vines are on average 25 years old and are trained guyot simple.
Tasting note: A beautifully concentrated Pouilly Fumé, with well balanced, crisp gooseberry and blackcurrant leaf fruit overlaid with hints of citrus and minerality. The finish is elegant and long with hints of flint and ripe apple.
Food match: As an aperitif or match with fish and white meat dishes.
