Domaine de Ladoucette

The largest and most renowned vineyards of Pouilly-Fumé belong to Domaine de Ladoucette. Reminiscent of grand Bordeaux châteaux, Château du Nozet is a lavish property situated in the center of the Loire region. Owned by the Comte Lafond and Ladoucette families since 1788, the estate is currently run by sixth generation Patrick de Ladoucette. Much of de Ladoucette’s esteemed reputation was built by Patrick himself. Taking over his family’s château in 1972, he was the first to put all of his efforts into raising the quality of their wines. Following with tradition and his strides for excellence, de Ladoucette produces great white wines, setting the global benchmark for Sauvignon Blancs. In their state-of-the-art winery, the estate crafts some of the best Loire wines available, one being a quintessential, smoky Pouilly Fumé de Ladoucette. Their top cuvée Baron de L, made from the most exceptional terroirs, is only produced in great vintages and is recognized around the world as a revolutionary Sauvignon Blanc with its unrivaled complexity and raciness.
