“This Sauvignon Blanc from Pouilly Fumé is crisp, lean, focused, with zesty acid tension and chalky mineral notes that lift out of the glass, infusing the yellow apple and pear fruit with a mineral-scented virbancy that carries through to the last sip with a medium-bodied, almost velvety expression. Notes of sea grass, underripe peach, and peach pit emerge on the finish.”
“Beautiful pale hue with green glints. Distinctive nose combining mineral notes and citrus. On the palate, a lively style, centred on fruit, with pleasing tension that carries the whole. A taut style that will pair beautifully with a fine Loire fish.”
