Origin

Pouilly-Fumé Vieilles Vignes is produced in the Pouilly-Fumé appellation, located in the Loire Valley of France. This region is renowned for its flinty soils and ideal climate for Sauvignon Blanc cultivation.

Variety

The wine is made exclusively from Sauvignon Blanc grapes sourced from old vines (vieilles vignes), which typically contribute to greater concentration and complexity.

Production

The grapes are hand-harvested from old vines to ensure optimal ripeness and quality. The wine undergoes careful vinification, including controlled fermentation at low temperatures to preserve aromatic freshness. Aging is conducted in stainless steel tanks to maintain the purity of the varietal character and the signature smoky minerality of Pouilly-Fumé.

Tasting notes

  • Appearance: Pale straw yellow with greenish reflections.
  • Aroma: Intense and complex nose featuring notes of flint, citrus fruits, white flowers, and subtle herbal nuances.
  • Palate: Crisp and lively with vibrant acidity, mineral backbone, and flavors of grapefruit, lemon zest, and a hint of smokiness.
  • Finish: Long, elegant, and refreshing finish with persistent mineral notes.

Food pairings

  • Seafood dishes such as grilled scallops, oysters, and shellfish.
  • Light fish preparations including sole meunière or trout almondine.
  • Fresh goat cheese, particularly from the Loire Valley.
  • Vegetable-based dishes like asparagus or artichokes.
