Antoine de la Farge, Pouilly-Fumé 2025

Why we love this bottle

Antoine de la Farge comes from a family that has been making wine in the Loire since 1560. He travelled and worked in the wine trade for years before coming home in 2012. Today he makes wine across five different Loire appellations. His grandfather Gérard Clément helped put Menetou Salon on the map. We love it because it is a classic, made by someone who first went to look at the rest of the world.

In Pouilly, everything is about Sauvignon Blanc on limestone and flint. Fumé means smoky, and one sip tells you why the name fits. Lime, grapefruit, freshly cut grass and a smoky touch. Taut, fresh and lightly salty. Serve it well chilled and let that smoky note surprise you.
