Masson-Blondelet, Pouilly-Fumé, Les Angelots, 2009
Fresh aromas of gooseberries and ripe citrus are followed on the palate by delicate citrus flavours with stone fruit notes. Focused and very intense. Now-2013
The seventh generation of Massons are now firmly in charge with Pierre looking after both vineyards and cellar whilst sister Mélanie is in charge of sales and marketing. The estate covers about 21 hectares of vines around the village, from which they make several cuvées of Pouilly-Fumé from different soils: Les Angelots is from south and south-east facing chalky (calcareous) vineyards in the heart of the appellation, and always shows really open, enticing aromas and fruit. Les Pierres de Pierre is a rather smaller production, coming from four small parcels of 40-45 year old vines grown on flint. Organic techniques in the vineyard and modern, low temperature vinification aim to let the differences in terroir shine through in the finished wines.
