Pierre Marchand et Fils is a family owned winery located in the famous Pouilly- Fumé wine region, Loire Valley- France. On its 17 hectares, Pierre Marchand et Fils produces some of the best Sauvignon Blanc white wines. They are very balanced and complex yet quite crispy. These delicious wines reveal refreshing flavours of redberries and good minerality followed by hints of citrus and specific flavours of flint. This specific “flint” aroma is given by the terroir itself.

Loire Valley Wines

Loire Valley is France's third largest wine region. It is located along the course of the Loire river on its long journey through the Atlantic. White wines are Loire Valley's strong suit and the two most representative white wine subregions are Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, both very famous for their specific dry Sauvignon Blanc wines. Other key white-wine grape varieties used to make Loire Valley whites are Chenin Blanc, Melon de Bourgogne and Chardonnay. 

Sauvignon Blanc Wines

Sauvignon Blanc is a white wine grape variety original from Bordeaux, France, where it makes a good pair with Sémillon in Sancerre. Sauvignon Blanc wines are generally associated with Pouilly-Fumé where the wine reveals a very specific flint aroma that derives from the region's particular limestone soils. A classic Sauvignon Blanc has grassy aromas with hints of nettles, blackcurrant leaf, green apples and gooseberries. Besides France, the grape makes excellent wine in New Zealand and the USA.
