Though the domaine still bears Régis’s name, Lucia is in charge now. Driven by a desire to create, she left a successful career in wine sales to earn a degree in viticulture and take over the family estate. From sixteen different parcels representing the appellation’s diverse terroirs—Kimmeridgian marl, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ecalcaires de Villiers\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eterres blanches\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, to name but a few—Lucia crafts the archetypal Pouilly-Fumé. Fermenting each parcel individually gives her room to respond to every vintage’s unique characteristics while preserving, in her words, “the historical identity of the estate’s wines.” Kermit described Régis’s Pouilly-Fumé as having “class and exquisite harmony”; after I tasted Lucia’s recent vintages, my notes are filled with similar descriptions. The wine has a distinct elegance. The classic Sauvignon Blanc characteristics are present, but understated—floral notes, subtle citrus, a cool grassiness—and there’s a chalkiness so textural you can feel it as you taste. The overall impression is not of brash, over-the-top flavors, but of poise and refinement.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWine Type:    white\u003cbr\u003eVintage:    2024\u003cbr\u003eBottle Size:    750mL\u003cbr\u003eBlend:    Sauvignon Blanc\u003cbr\u003eAppellation:    Pouilly Fumé\u003cbr\u003eCountry:    France\u003cbr\u003eRegion:    Loire\u003cbr\u003eProducer:    Régis Minet\u003cbr\u003eWinemaker:    Régis Minet\u003cbr\u003eVineyard:    25 - 30 years, 10 ha\u003cbr\u003eSoil:    Clay, Marl, Kimmeridgian Limestone\u003cbr\u003eAging:    Wine ages for 6 months on fine lees in stainless steel.
