Baron de Ladoucette

One of the most famous wineries in the Loire Valley, whose first vineyards were purchased by the Comte Lafond family in Pouilly-Fumé at the end of the 18th century, from the illegitimate daughter of the French king Louis XV. Baron Patrick de Ladoucette, a descendant of Comte Lafonde and current owner had the task of perpetuating a highly esteemed tradition of excellence among white wines. He later wanted to expand his wine properties, extending to the regions of Sancerre, Pouilly-Fuissé, Chablis, Champagne, Vouvray and Chinon.

The fame of Baron de Ladoucette is consecrated with the noble Pouilly-Fumé Baron de L, universally recognized as the best Sauvignon in the world, an oenological pearl endowed with great finesse and amplitude in aromas. The name Comte Lafond, on the other hand, is carried high in the Sancerre whites which it produces following principles of excellence and extreme elegance. The principles of all domaines are based on respect for the heritage of grapes and terroir, enhanced by separately vinified plots, with meticulous attention to each individual cru.
