Domaine Moreux-Corty

The sons of Patrice Moreux, Arnaud and Julien, cultivate 35 hectares of vines at Pouilly-sur-Loire. They are the sole owners of the parcel of land known as “La Loge aux Moines”, a superbly situated historic site in the Pouilly Fumé region where vines were first planted in the 11th century.

The wine that bears this name shows the quality of this south-facing vineyard where the soil is pure Kimmeridgian marl. It has great depth of flavour and yet has a finesse that belies the richness of the wine. Their regular cuvee of Pouilly Fumé is also excellent - a blend of three different terroirs of the region, partly fermented in concrete vats, which Arnaud believes adds an extra dimension to the wine.
