Light golden coloured, this has ripe citrus notes with a hint of petrol, an attractive mouthfilling texture, vibrant fruit and a very long finish. This is a stylish, well-made wine with sufficient concentration and ripe acidity to allow it to age well. It is made from 100% Tressallier, the local white grape, known elsewhere as Sacy. This is an IGP Val de Loire as, foolishly, the appellation rules require that white St-Pourçain has to be a blend of Chardonnay and Tressallier. There are now moves to change this. Autochtone comes from a single parcel and is vinified and aged for 12 months in Allier oak barrels. The domaine's Pinot Noir, La Chabanne, from the 2022 vintage, is also very good and worth seeking out.
