The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine With 2 stars in the RVF Guide, Les Poëte displays a remarkable rise, producing some of the most ambitious wines in the Loire. Guillaume Sorbe's determination to create outstanding whites in Quincy and Reuilly is now indisputable. No wine from the area reaches this level of precision and depth!

A sommelier who has worked at the finest establishments, Guillaume Sorbe returned to his family lands to create exceptional wines. He is truly the new virtuoso of the Loire. With a small estate, massal selections, and meticulous vineyard care, everything here is precise, carefully tended, and focused solely on quality.
Wine The 2022 white Pouilly-Fumé is already well-opened, with intense wisteria aromas and a hint of light oak, showcasing the mature Sauvignon and expertly managed partial barrel fermentation. The palate is flavorful, concentrated without excess, invigorating, straightforward, and refined. This ready-to-drink white pairs perfectly with salmon gravlax, grilled calamari, or seafood. Rated 93-94/100 by the Selection Committee.
Vinification Traditional vinification, optimal harvest maturity, a wine that is 20% oak, the rest in vats.
