A great Pouilly Fumé, very mineral. Aside from the anecdotal aspect (parcel planted manually, with a crowbar), the soil of such hardness (flint) is rarely used for vines (ask the winemaker about the state of his back after planting!). It proves to be exceptional, as anticipated - and heavily inspired by the domaine Dagueneau, not so far away - after all these efforts, now rewarded!

Domaine Michel Redde & fils Fumé de Pouilly "Barre à Mine" dry white 2021

Technical sheet written by the domaine :

Since 2009, a colossal and unique effort has been made in an old flint quarry, called "Les Champs des Froids," located in the municipality of Tracy-sur-Loire.
The plot, beautifully exposed to the Southwest, requires significant clearing, stoning, and planting work.
Unlike a "classic" preparation, this one is done using a large quarry digger to remove the monumental flint blocks known as cuirasses. Additionally, we enlisted a specialized company to blast them to make this plot mechanically exploitable.
Currently, 4.5 ha are planted, and the entire planting was done with a drilling rig, rather than with a pickaxe as is usual, at a density of 10,000 vines/ha through mass selection.
This is why, due to all this colossal work, the name of this new and exceptional terroir of the Appellation is called BARRE À MINE.
