Villa Paulus, a reference to the Roman origins of Pouilly-sur-Loire, is an impressive wine. It has power, a rich feel, finely textured with big ripe yellow fruits, powered by a steely core. Age for 2–3 years.

This is one of two terroir-based wines from Masson-Blondelet, coming from very minerally soil. It is fresh, taut, tight and packed with poised fruit. The acidity, green fruit flavors and the structure all suggest a wine which will age well. Imported by Grape Expectations (CA).

A big, rich style of Sancerre, but one that doesn’t forget its mineral, flinty roots. The acidity has an edge of sweetness, opened by delicious berry fruit flavors, tangy in its citrus freshness. It could age for another 1–2 years.

This Pouilly-sur-Loire-based producer also has these Sancerre vineyards in Thauvenay. With just a touch of honey aromas, this is an immediately attractive wine that shows softness and freshness rather than weight. It is very pure, open and ready to drink. Imported by Grape Expectations (CA).

Masson-Blondelet has produced a sumptuous wine from the softer soils of Pouilly. It is ripe and rich, showing good concentration of green and yellow fruits, along with fine supporting acidity. There’s a great depth, and certainly good aging ability. Imported by Grape Expectations (CA).
