La Craie Pouilly Fume 2024 - 750ml

Tasting Notes

Remarkably aromatic with pretty white flower and fruit fragrances. On the palate it reveals a freshness that is pure and clean. Notes of citrus, apple, and gooseberry with hints of passion fruit are found in this lively and bright wine.

An excellent aperitif that is also outstanding with fish, seafood, and certain white meats. A classic pairing with any type of goat cheese.

About the Wine

Pouilly Fume is a small wine district in central France’s Loire Valley famous for its crisp, aromatic white wines made from the Sauvignon Blanc grape. The region has a cool continental climate, so the grapes have high acidity and crisp flavors. It is generally fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks without any oak influence. Enjoy chilled and when it’s young and fresh.

Estate Notes

In the heart of the Valley of the Kings, in the municipality of Pouillé near the medieval city of Montrichard, the estate vineyards stretch over 40 hectares of vines in the AOC Touraine area. Backed by ancestral know-how, the Maison is one of the best terroirs of the Loire Valley region. Since 1905, four successive generations have perfected their wine-growing knowledge in order to enable the family business to strive for excellence and to offer its customers exceptionally high quality wines. The vineyard has AOC Touraine vines located on the hillsides of the Cher and the valleys of Loir-et-Cher, which are the best of the appellation's varieties. The over 20 year old vines benefit from an excellent western orientation, on clay-limestone soil, ideal for growing Sauvignon Blanc in particular.
