A family estate in Pouilly-sur-Loire, known for elegant, terroir-driven Pouilly-Fumé wines made with sustainable, organic methods.

For over six generations, the Masson-Blondelet family has poured its passion into Sauvignon Blanc, creating wines that are as much a reflection of the land as they are of tradition. What makes their Pouilly-Fumé so distinctive is the estate’s deep respect for terroir. The vineyards are spread across three different soil types — Kimmeridgian marl, limestone, and the region’s famous silex (flint). Each soil lends its own signature: structure and depth from limestone, finesse from marl, and that unmistakable smoky, mineral character from silex. By vinifying these parcels separately, the family allows the personality of each terroir to shine through.

Equally important is their commitment to sustainability. Long before it became a trend, Domaine Masson-Blondelet adopted an organic, eco-conscious approach to viticulture. No synthetic herbicides or pesticides are used, and the team carefully works the soil to encourage biodiversity and natural balance. The philosophy is simple: healthy vines, nurtured with respect, produce grapes of exceptional quality.

The result is a collection of wines that capture both elegance and authenticity. A glass of their Pouilly-Fumé often reveals delicate citrus, white peach, and floral notes, underpinned by a racy minerality and that famous smoky nuance. Each bottle feels like a distilled expression of the Loire Valley itself — fresh, pure, and timeless.

At its core, Domaine Masson-Blondelet is a story of family and continuity. With each generation, the estate has honored its heritage while embracing the future of sustainable winemaking. To taste their Pouilly-Fumé is to share in that legacy: a wine rooted in history, shaped by terroir, and guided by a philosophy of harmony with nature. For lovers of authentic, terroir-driven Sauvignon Blanc, a visit to Pouilly-sur-Loire — and a tasting at Domaine Masson-Blondelet — is nothing short of essential.
