Nestled in the heart of Pouilly-sur-Loire, Domaine Chollet is a family-owned estate that has been cultivating vines for generations. Today, brother and sister Séverin and Milène Chollet continue the work begun by their parents and grandparents, combining traditional know-how with a forward-looking approach to sustainable viticulture. Their commitment to preserving the character of the Loire Valley is reflected in every aspect of the estate, from meticulous vineyard management to precise, terroir-driven winemaking.
The vineyards are farmed according to biodynamic principles, with great attention given to the natural balance between soil, vine, and climate. Domaine Chollet's parcels span the appellation's three principal soil types—Silex (flint), Caillottes (limestone), and Terres Blanches (Kimmeridgian clay and limestone)—allowing each vineyard to contribute its own distinctive character to the final wines. Harvesting is carried out at optimal ripeness, followed by gentle pressing and temperature-controlled vinification designed to preserve the freshness, purity, and aromatic precision that define great Loire Sauvignon Blanc.
The result is a collection of elegant, expressive wines that capture the mineral identity of Pouilly-Fumé while remaining vibrant, refined, and highly food-friendly. Domaine Chollet's philosophy is rooted in respect for nature, careful craftsmanship, and the belief that exceptional wines begin in healthy, living vineyards.

Domaine Chollet Pouilly-Fumé Produced exclusively from Sauvignon Blanc grown on the estate's diverse limestone, clay, and flint soils, Domaine Chollet Pouilly-Fumé is a classic expression of one of the Loire Valley's most celebrated appellations. The wine opens with aromas of citrus, white peach, fresh herbs, and subtle floral notes, complemented by the distinctive mineral character for which Pouilly-Fumé is renowned.
On the palate, it is crisp, elegant, and beautifully balanced, with vibrant acidity supporting layers of ripe orchard fruit, grapefruit, and a delicate smoky flint note that lingers through a long, refreshing finish. Vinified in stainless steel to preserve purity and freshness, this is a refined Sauvignon Blanc that pairs effortlessly with oysters, shellfish, grilled fish, goat's cheese, and light poultry dishes. It is equally enjoyable as an aperitif or alongside a wide range of contemporary cuisine. |
