Deschamps farms an 8.5-hectare collection of vineyards rooted in the Kimmeridgian limestone soil of Les Loges, which is just north of the appellation’s namesake village, Pouilly-Sur-Loire. Four of his parcels fall within the Pouilly-Fumé AOC: “La Côte,” “Les Griottes,” “Les Vignes de Berge,” and finally, the most prized single vineyard, “Les Champs de Cri.”

These wines are classic examples of the appellation: rich, powerful, marked by an undercurrent of minerality and, above all, expressing the precision, elegance and exceptional length that makes the wines of the hamlet of Les Loges the envy of all the producers of Pouilly-Fumé.
