AMAZING PRICE!

Baron de L is the grande cuvée of Domaine de Ladoucette and one of the world’s iconic Sauvignon Blancs. Baron Patrick de Ladoucette’s ancestor, the Comte Lafond, acquired Château du Nozet and its vineyards in the late 18th century, and the estate has been the benchmark for Pouilly-Fumé ever since. Baron de L is made only in the best vintages, from the estate’s top parcels of roughly 40-year-old vines on clay and limestone, and from the first pressing alone. Each parcel is kept separate and moved gently by gravity, then pressed à la champenoise and fermented slowly in steel, never oak, to keep the fruit and terroir pure. The 2020 is pale gold-green with ripe pear and white peach, beeswax and smoky flint, fleshy and structured on the palate, with a very long, mineral finish. It’s drinking beautifully now and has years ahead of it. A spectacular price for this bottle. Pair with lobster, Dover sole, scallops or aged chèvre.

"There's a wealth of waxy, smoky density and salty concentration in this late-release version. Apple, green plum and verbena are flecked with sun tea and honey, which adds appealing warmth, all set against bitter white tea tannins that provide real structure. Shows a hint of brioche on the finish, which hums with tension. Drink now through 2030. 375 cases imported."
