Pabiot’s first single-terroir Pouilly-Fumé comes from mature vines in Tracy-sur-Loire on caillottes, a weathered limestone soil of Portlandian origin with many stones on the surface. Specifically, Aubaine is hand-harvested from one hectare of Les Champs de Cris, sited high above the river on a plateau — a vineyard Pabiot describes as “a joy to work”. The winemaking for both the Aubaine and the Luminance is identical—hand-harvested grapes were pressed, naturally fermented and raised in concrete for 18 months—so the difference comes down purely to the two terroirs.
