Deeply rooted in the Loire Valley's rich winemaking tradition, Vignobles Berthier proudly presents Pouilly Fumé Le Champ Lopin, a masterpiece that embodies the sublime expression of the terroir. This particular wine comes from a unique location: a Kimmeridgian-era marl soil rich in oyster shells, which gives the Sauvignon Blanc grapes an unmistakable mineral complexity. The careful vinification process, in which the grapes are gently pressed and fermented naturally under controlled temperatures, enhances the grapes' intrinsic qualities. The result is a wine that reflects not only the winemaking philosophy of Clément and Florian Berthier but also their commitment to biodiversity and environmental stewardship, underscored by their recent organic certification.

This refined fragrance blend leads to a palate that is both vibrant and well-structured. Each sip offers a harmony of luscious citrus fruit interwoven with subtle spicy and mineral notes that reflect the region's signature freshness. These elements are perfectly balanced by a rich texture, giving the wine a round and full-bodied feel while remaining refreshing and vibrant. It is an excellent representation of how the unique soil composition influences the wine's depth and complexity.
