Winemaker:Domaine Jean-Philippe Agisson
This 2022 Pouilly-Fumé comes from a 0.5 hectare plot of organically cultivated, 35-year-old vines, in Tracy-sur-Loire, which Jean-Philippe purchased in 2019. He has named it `La Belle Endormie` – Sleeping Beauty – as this is how he views Pouilly, which can fall into the shadow of its often more celebrated neighbour, Sancerre. This initially aged in oak barrels previously used at Domaine Didier Dagueneau, and then on fine lees in tank, prior to bottling in late spring 2024.
Shimmering, pale lemon-green colour, this has beautiful, intense, fresh aromatics, recalling subtly spiced lemon, lime and nectarine. Palate is full and suavely silky, having lovely tension and energy, with tightly held, pure fruit flavours. This is an elegant, compelling, long-flavoured Pouilly-Fumé from a great producer (for drinking 2025-2029+).
Please note, this In Bond wine is limited to 2 cases online. More may be available: please call 020 7584 7927 or email to enquire further.

Winemaker
Domaine Jean-Philippe Agisson
Jean-Philippe Agisson`s domaine is located in the hamlet of La Vallée in Sury-en-Vaux. He makes tiny volumes of red and white Sancerre, and added a 0.5-hectare plot of 35-year-old, organically cultivated vines in Pouilly-Fumé to his holdings in 2019. We are delighted to be the sole UK importer of his Sancerre Pinot Noir, as well as his Pouilly-Fumé La Belle Endormie. Jean-Philippe was for many years Head Winemaker at Domaine Alphonse Mellot in Sancerre. He moved to Domaine Didier Dagueneau in 2018, where he is currently Head Winemaker.
