Only the first juice is kept, after a cold settling, the must starts its alcoholic fermentation in a 600 liters (demi-muid) oak barrel. Maintained on very fine lees, which are stirred. The racking takes place in August, the wine is bottled the next year after a maturation on the lees in a blending tank.

Producer
The family Masson Blondelet invariably produces top Pouilly Fumé wines, and is always in the leading group of producers year after year.
Both the Villa Paulus and Cullus have always been classy and consistently excellent offerings, the truest expression of the Sauvignon grape.
