The Story
La Moynerie covers 40 hectares occupying a prime position in the heart of the Pouilly-sur-Loire region. Most of the domaine's vineyards are on the magnificent south facing slopes over-looking the Loire River. Soils are clay-limestone, which give an early harvest, producing wines that are rich, harmonious and long-lived, and clay-siliceous soils which gives wines with distinctive flinty flavours. Priority is given to quality, so the vines are pruned very short to obtain complex musts and concentrated aromas.
The Redde family strongly believe in working with respect for their vineyards and the surrounding environment and their wines are certified organic by Ecocert from the 2023 vintage. Their vineyards are managed without the use of herbicides, insecticides or any other synthetic additives.
The winery at La Moynerie is well equipped and modern. The modern presses allow a light pressing giving a gentle flow of the juice, similar to the quality obtained in the past with wooden hand-operated presses.
Vineyard & Winemaking
The soil is Villiers limestone (period of the upper Jurassic) also called ''Caillottes''. It is located in the commune of Saint-Martin-sur-Nohain. This soil reveals pure, aromatic, mineral and gourmand complexity. Les Toupées is the newest addition of a series of single terroir wines from single vineyard locations within the Michel Redde domaine that produce particularly expressive wines. The Redde family believe these sites represent unofficial grand crus of the Pouilly-Fumé appellations.
Tasting Notes:
The 2022 Les Toupées reveals aromas of white flesh fruits. The palate is silky and voluptuous, followed by a long and finely salty length. This vintage shows purity of fruit with minerality and complexity. It is recommended to decant it before serving.
