Pouilly Fumé (Vallée de la Loire) - Domaine Francis Blanchet

The passion for our work, which has been handed over from generation to generation since the 17th century, encourages us to respect traditional work in the vineyards as well as the environment through a quality-oriented approach. We work our soil and craft our wines in the aim of providing future generations with a sustainable heritage. Our 9.5 hectares of vineyards located in the POUILLY FUME appellation (Sauvignon Blanc grapes) are planted in different types of soils (Kimmeridgian marls, flinty clay, Barrois and Villiers limestone).

Our philosophy is to preserve the heritage of our ancestors – the quality and diversity of our terroirs – in the aim of being able to pass it along to future generations.
For more than 15 years now, we have been protecting the biological diversity of our soils. Depending on the vineyard, either we grow crop cover between the rows of vines or we use a plough and grape hoe to remove any weeds.
By making the rounds of all of our vineyards several times per week, we are able to carefully weigh the need to spray or not which thereby reduces environmental impact.
Not only does this environmentally friendly approach to vine management protect the vines and the terroirs, it also allows us to produce better quality grapes.

Our motto: Tradition and Progress We combine the know-how gleaned from our ancestors with the technical developments of our generation.
