LOIRE VALLEY, FRANCE
100% Sauvignon (Blanc)
Intense and racy with gooseberry and greengage fruit. Vibrant, fresh and so alive. With Sauvignon Blanc vineyards either side of the river, it never ceases to amaze us that the Dezat wines are so very different, guided by both the soils and the topography of the area. With a high proportion of flint and gravel in the soils, their Pouilly Fumé has an extra zip of minerality to it which makes it stand out from the crowd.

Dezat is one of the oldest winegrower families in the Sancerre area, with history dating back to the 16th century. André DEZAT took over the family business in 1948, and his sons Louis and Simon developed it, notably with the exploitation of the Pouilly Fumé appellation in the 80s, then Menetou-Salon in 2006.

Today, siblings Stephanie and Arnaud Dezat, Louis' daughter and son, continue the family legacy. They are committed to offering the authentic wines that have made the reputation of "DEZAT" wines for decades.

The Dezat winemaking philosophy is to produce wines that both reflect the region’s terroir as well as respect the land. Biodiversity and organic farming have been a central tenet to the Dezat Family.

Together, Stephanie and Arnaud manage 22.5 hectares (about 56 acres) across 3 appellations: Menetou, Sancerre and Pouilly Fumé.

They value the respect for nature through the HVE certification (underway), putting forward their lands, respecting its fauna and flora but also all the biodiversity that constitutes it.
