Magnum of Pouilly-Fumé Cuvée Prestige, Domaine Seguin 2017

White Wine from France - Loire

2 Reviews

This glorious sauvignon blanc is made using fruit from Pouilly-Fumé’s three terroirs and selected from old vines. Combined they give a concentrated yet precise wine with a touch of smokiness and a taut mineral finish.

Seguin

This 17-hectare domaine is very much a family run affair, just outside the town of Pouilly-sur-Loire in the hamlet of Bouchot. Philippe Seguin and his father Hervé are in charge and along with 3 workers manage all of the vineyards and winemaking operation. The entire property, including cellars, is immaculately kept and the Pouilly-Fumé here is a consistently good expression of fine sauvignon blanc, grown on limestone soils.
Seguin’s wine has been a regular Society wine champion and achieves finesse and minerality even in warmer vintages. Interestingly here, machine harvesting is the order of the day showing just how advanced this wine industry technology has become. Critics say it removes both character and finesse from the resulting wine. Not here, as the excellent ‘house’ white and very special cuvéeprestige display.

Loire Valley Vintage 2017

After Jo Locke MW's usual quick visit at harvest time it was clear that 2017 would yield some excellent results. Following her regular February 2018 trip she was delighted to report that she couldn't remember when she was last so excited by a Loire vintage!

Muscadets are gorgeous across the board, and they are such adaptable wines and so light on the stomach. Central Vineyards sauvignons from Domaines Laloue (Exhibition Sancerre) and Riaux (Pouilly-Fumé) are delicious too, with ripeness and freshness in perfect balance. Go to Reuilly, Quincy, Chenonceaux, and Touraine sauvignons for value. Serious chenin lovers will need to wait a bit longer for the 2017s.

The reds have delightfully bright, generous fruit (though it is still early in their progress) which at harvest looked likely to be structured and concentrated as the berries were small and yielding less juice than expected. They have given wines with delightfully bright, generous fruit.
