Pouilly-fumé

Pouilly-Fumé AOC appellation is one of the most famous appellations in France for white wines. The territory of Pouilly-Fumé AOC is located near Nevers, on the right bank of the Loire. The vineyards extend over about 1200 hectares facing south and are cultivated almost exclusively with sauvignon blanc. It is an area with ancient traditions, which date back to the Roman occupation of Gaul and which have then been handed down over the centuries to the present day. The climate mitigated by the presence of the Loire and the calcareous soils rich in silica and marl of the kimmeridge, made up of fossil residues of marine shells, create perfect conditions for cultivating white grape varieties. The particular composition of the soils gives Pouilly-Fumé sauvignon blanc unique and inimitable characteristics, with notes of flint and fumé that have contributed to making it famous in the world.

They are wines of great finesse and elegance, with intense and refined aromatic profiles. Ideal to taste with seafood, smoked fish, fish in sauce or with goat cheeses, such as crottin de Chavignol. They have an ageing potential of at least 5–6 years.
