Domaine Jean-Pierre Bailly, Pouilly sur Loire

  

Patrice, who served his apprenticeship as a winemaker in Australia, now works closely with his Father Jean-Pierre.  Together they produce a Pouilly Fumé of authentic, traditional character with a powerful, musky fragrance and a flinty edge from vines up to 40 years old.  This wine has real elegance - crammed with fragrant citrus and gooseberry fruit balanced by mineral-laced acidity - and is made to improve with age.  Father and son make wine of character and refuse to give way to modern easy-drinking trends.
