Régis Minet Pouilly-Fumé "Vieilles Vignes" 2025

Price: $32.00
Tasting notes

The cuvée draws from sixteen different parcels representing the appellation's diverse terroirs, including Kimmeridgian marl, calcaires de Villiers, and terres blanches. The classic Sauvignon Blanc characteristics are present but understated, with floral notes, subtle citrus, a cool grassiness, and a chalkiness so textural you can feel it as you taste.

Important Compliance Requirements

FedEx and other carriers we might occasionally use can only deliver wine to customers who are 21 years or older. Someone must be at the address to receive the package, carriers don't just drop a package and leave. They must ensure the person receiving the wine is 21 or older.

Re-shipping a Package

If a package is returned to us after three failed delivery attempts, we can only re-ship the wine upon payment of a re-shipping fee, to be determined based on the shipping address and number of bottles. Shipping wine is extremely expensive. We are sorry about this, but we have no other choice. Please make sure there's always someone at the address you enter as your shipping address.

If you'd like to receive a refund for a package that was returned to us after FedEx made three delivery attempts, we can do that but we must keep a $20 refund fee; FedEx charges us a lot of money for returns, unfortunately, I can't stress this enough.

Re-routing a Package

If you'd like to reroute a package after it's been shipped, we can do so for a $20 re-routing fee. We cannot re-route a package across state borders. For any change of address, please contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 1-2 days from placing the order or we cannot guarantee we'll be able to reroute or change your order's shipping address.

Canceling an Order

If you'd like to cancel an order after it's been shipped, we can do so upon payment of a small cancellation fee – the amount depends on the size of the order. Carriers charge us a lot of money to recall a package en-route.

Heat/Frost damage

We are not responsible for heat- or frost-related issues. We offer ice-packs upon request. Please let us know if you think that there could be heat-related issues. If we don't hear anything from you regarding weather issues before an order is shipped, or if you don't request a hold due to the weather, we are not responsible for heat/frost damage.

Placed an order. What next?

2. As soon as your order ships from the warehouse, usually within 2-3 business days, this applies to all shipping rates, you will receive a shipping confirmation email with your tracking information. 2DAY shipping refers to shipping time; we still need 2-3 business days to prepare an order.

Régis Minet Pouilly-Fumé "Vieilles Vignes" 2025
$32.00

Producer profile

Domaine Régis Minet

The Minet family history begins in the 18th century with Nicolas Minet in 1795; Régis took over the family domaine at age 17 following the sudden death of his father, developing the estate from an initial 3 hectares to 12 hectares, all planted to Sauvignon Blanc. The family estate has been handed down from generation to generation, from Pierre Minet in 1627 to Lucia in 2021, the first woman on the estate. In 2021, Lucia took over, continuing the family history with commercial experience, an attachment to the terroir and village, and the intent to add her signature while respecting the identity of the house.

The domaine farms 12.5 hectares in the Pouilly-Fumé appellation on 16 plots. Farming is Lutte Raisonnée. The domaine's terroirs are characteristic of the Pouilly-Fumé appellation, with Kimmeridgian marls, terres blanches, and argilo-calcaire soils.

The Vieilles Vignes ages for 6 months on fine lees in stainless steel, with the lees stirred two to three times during this period depending on the vintage. The wine is fermented with ambient yeast and does not see any oak. Lucia works from sixteen different parcels representing the appellation's diverse terroirs and ferments each parcel individually, giving her room to respond to each vintage's characteristics while preserving the historical identity of the estate's wines.

Wine region

Loire Valley, France

On the eastern end of the Loire Valley in France sit the two communes of Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, where Sauvignon Blanc reaches one of its most recognized expressions, with producers in the Loire Valley excelling in mineral-driven versions of the grape. Pouilly-Fumé sits due east, across the Loire River from Sancerre, with limestone soils containing clay and flint (also called silex) that contribute to freshness and a smoky, flinty, mineral character.

Pouilly-Fumé is about half the size of neighboring Sancerre just across the river; though based on the same Kimmeridgian limestone as Sancerre, the presence of flint in the soil lends these wines a subtle smoky quality, and where Sancerre tends to show off more Sauvignon Blanc fruit, Pouilly-Fumé is oriented toward minerality.
