Description
The appellation of Pouilly-Fume is in the easternmost Loire Valley, just across the river from Sancerre. The soil is composed of flint and sand formed from clay, limestone, and silica, which gives these Sauvignon Blanc grapes their signature smoky and stony style. At first sip, the wine shows a creaminess and tropical notes, fresh acidity, and mineral notes at the end. The finish is persistent with a powerful clarity. - Drew Fuller
