Nestled on the slopes of Pouilly-sur-Loire, Domaine Michel Redde benefits from a unique terroir of limestone and clay-silica soils.

This climate favors slow, gradual ripening of the grapes, resulting in well-balanced, aromatically complex wines.

The estate's varied soils lend a unique richness to the wines:

Kimmeridgian marl, which brings a beautiful roundness and ample texture, caillottes (Jurassic limestone), giving taut and mineral wines, very pure and flint, which gives wines a characteristic smoky note and great longevity.

Petit F Pouilly-Fumé: This cuvée is produced from vines aged 10 to 15 years. It is vinified in vats and aged in stainless steel tanks for 6 months. It offers a fresh, fruity nose, dominated by notes of citrus, white peach and a light floral touch. On the palate, this wine is greedy, balanced and very easy to drink.
