Sancerre Comte Lafond

FrancOne of the most famous and long-lived cellars in the entire Loire has been in the hands of the Ladoucette family since the 18th century, precisely since 1787, the year in which the then owners, the Comte Lafond family, bought the land from the illegitimate daughter of the French king Louis . Over the years, the family’s constant work has transformed the Pouilly-Fumé wines into products of an excellent level of quality, making them capable of competing head-on with all the remaining best whites in the world. In 1972, the Baron de Ladoucette inherited the original lands and extended them by purchasing plots in the regions of Sancerre, Pouilly-Fuissé, Chablis, Champagne, Vouvray and Chinon, thus expanding the family’s centuries-old winemaking activity .
Today the maison de Ladoucette manages to perfectly combine technological innovation and winemaking tradition, quality and large numbers, aiming to maintain the link with the territory and its microclimate unchanged, and creating top-of-the-range products in every area.
In the vineyard, every precaution and every agronomic practice is aimed at maintaining the balance of the environment and ecosystem unchanged, and the plants are raised with meticulous care and attention, to say the least. In the cellar, tradition dictates that each plot and each single cru are vinified separately, so as to enhance and exalt the intrinsic characteristics of the fruit and the peculiarities deriving from the composition of the soil: from destemming to pressing, from fermentation at a controlled temperature to aging , each step is rigorously supervised and managed in order to process the grapes while keeping them distinct based on the parcel of origin.
From all this, extraordinary labels come to life, among which we can mention one to recall them all, recalling the Pouilly-Fumé “Baron del L”, a wine which is produced only in the best vintages and which, with its extreme elegance and its exceptional finesse, is currently recognized unanimously and without mincing words not only as one of the best French Sauvignons, but in general as one of the best Sauvignons in the world.e

The production area of ​​Sancerre wines includes the villages of Amigny, Bue, Chavignol, Reigny and Verdigny, the land where the vines are located is located on clay and limestone spaces of land, the selected grapes come from Sauvignon Blanc vineyards.
