Michel Redde et Fils, La Moynerie, Pouilly Fumé, Loire, France 2019

“Shows terrific purity and elegance to the fruit flavors of sweet mirabelle plum, verbena and Key lime. Juicy and round on the palate, the texture is silky, with sweet tea, dried hay and candied citrus peel notes on the long finish. Drink now through 2023.” 90 WS

Michel Redde et Fils is an esteemed Loire Valley producer dating back to 1630, when François Redde was already documented growing vines in Pouilly-sur-Loire. Today, Thierry Redde and his sons are the 13th and 14th generations of winemakers in the family.

This wine is 100% estate grown and bottled from fruit sourced exclusively from Michel Redde’s La Moynerie vineyard. The vines are between 20 and 25 years old and grow in diverse subsoils of limestone, kimmeridgian marl, and clay with flint—a diversity that allows superb blends in every vintage. The winemaker uses temperature-controlled fermentation and ages the wine on the lees until bottling.
