WINE DESCRIPTION
Francis Blanchet Vieilles Vignes Pouilly-Fumé is a premium white wine produced by Francis Blanchet, a renowned winemaker from the Loire Valley in France. The wine is made from old vines grown in the Pouilly-Fumé appellation, which is known for its unique terroir and limestone-rich soils. The vineyard features steep slopes and a cool climate, which allows the grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine's freshness and purity. The resulting wine is elegant and refined, with aromas of citrus, white flowers, and minerality, and a crisp, refreshing acidity on the palate. It is a perfect match for seafood, salads, and light dishes.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Francis Blanchet Vieilles Vignes Pouilly-Fumé is an elegant expression of Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley.On the nose, it reveals captivating aromas of grapefruit, lime zest, and white flowers, complemented by flinty, smoky minerality typical of Pouilly-Fumé. The palate is vibrant and refined, showcasing citrus, green apple, and subtle tropical fruit, balanced by crisp acidity and a medium-bodied, silky texture. The wine finishes with a refreshing mineral-driven length and a hint of herbal nuance. Perfectly paired with oysters, grilled white fish, goat cheese, or light vegetable dishes, this wine is a stunning choice for lovers of structured, mineral-driven whites.
