Production
Set on the north bank of the Loire river with south-facing vineyards, Château de Pocé, also called "la Châtellenie" dates back to the 15th century and is set in the municipality of Pocé-sur-Cisse. The Sauvignon Blanc grapes are gently pressed, after which the must is allowed to settle in cool tanks for a short period before the clear juice is racked off into further steel tanks to ferment along with the rest of the filtered juice. Fermentation is carefully monitored to avoid malolactic conversion in order to preserve the bright, crisp Sauvignon Blanc aromas. The wine is kept on fine lees for three to six months before filtering and bottling.
