Origin

Pouilly-Fumé Cuvée Silice is produced in the Pouilly-Fumé appellation, located in the Loire Valley, France. This region is renowned for its distinctive Sauvignon Blanc wines characterized by a flinty minerality.

Variety

The wine is made exclusively from Sauvignon Blanc grapes, known for their aromatic intensity and crisp acidity.

Production

The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully selected to ensure quality. Vinification is carried out with temperature-controlled fermentation to preserve the fresh and aromatic character of the Sauvignon Blanc. The wine is aged briefly on fine lees to enhance texture and complexity without overpowering its natural freshness.

Tasting notes

  • Appearance: Pale straw yellow with greenish reflections.
  • Aroma: Intense and elegant bouquet featuring citrus fruits, white flowers, and a distinctive smoky flint note.
  • Palate: Crisp and lively with vibrant acidity, flavors of grapefruit, lemon zest, and mineral nuances. The finish is long and refreshing with a subtle smoky touch.

Food pairings

  • Seafood dishes such as grilled fish, oysters, and shellfish.
  • Light poultry preparations with herbs and citrus.
  • Fresh goat cheese and mild cheeses.
  • Asian cuisine with delicate spices and fresh herbs.
