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.
