Regis Minet Pouilly Fume VV 2021

About the Producer

Regis Minet the Loire Valley's answer to an action hero. He may play it cool on the outside, but at a closer look, one sees a man of brooding intensity on an insatiable quest for adventure. It may just be in the blood. His grandfather, Robert Minet, was an artisan Tonnelier, or barrel-maker. Robert kept a mere three hectares of vines in the eastern Loire town of Pouilly-sur-Loire just enough to make the family's wine. Regis vineyards sit at 750 feet, surrounded by hills on the far east of the Loire River, and centered proudly on the prized limestone and clay of the Kimmeridgian chain. The scattered flint in these vineyards imbues the wines with a character quite distinctive from the neighboring village of Sancerre.
