About The Wine

Pouilly-Fumé’s unique terroir, with its flinty soils and proximity to the Loire River, produces some of the world’s most captivating Sauvignon Blancs—wines defined by their smoky aromas, vibrant acidity, and intense citrus flavors.

Decanter Magazine said,"Pouilly-Fumé exemplifies the Loire Valley's mastery of Sauvignon Blanc, showcasing its signature flinty, mineral-driven character. These wines exhibit excellent purity, bright citrus flavors, and a crisp, refreshing finish, making them a true delight for Sauvignon Blanc enthusiasts."

Founded in 1921 by Paulin Lebrun, Maison Foucher started as a tiny Loire négociant delivering wine to local cafés. A century later, it’s known for deep relationships with growers in Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé and for bottlings that laser-focus on terroir.

Since 2013, winemaker Marc Vappereau has sharpened that vision, bringing modern precision to classic Loire whites like Les Tuffeaux—a cuvée shaped by the region’s tuffeau limestone, prized for its finesse and unmistakable minerality.

That precision comes through beautifully in the 2024 Maison Foucher "Les Tuffeaux" Pouilly-Fumé, a bottling that captures the estate’s hallmark mineral backbone and vibrant Loire energy.

100% Sauvignon Blanc.

A burst of zesty citrus leaps from the glass, lifted by a streak of smoky flint that screams classic Pouilly-Fumé.

On the palate, it’s bright, nervy, and mouthwatering — a tension-packed mix of juicy orchard fruit and chiselled minerality that lands in a crisp, refreshing finish.

THE PRODUCER

Maison Foucher

Founded in 1921, Maison Foucher began as a tiny Loire négociant supplying local cafés, but quickly became known for its precision and terroir-driven sourcing across Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé.

Today, winemaker Marc Vappereau leads the house with a modern, instinct-driven approach—spotlighting single-vineyard selections, organic growers, and the limestone-rich sites that define the region’s most expressive Sauvignon Blancs. Maison Foucher remains one of the Loire’s quiet overachievers, turning heritage and intuition into bright, mineral, beautifully focused wines.
