Le Chant de la Vigne Pouilly-Fumé

Pouilly-Fumé is among the very best Sauvignons in the world. Full of refined fruitiness. Lively and exciting. An ideal aperitif. Color, taste: white, fresh and dry Grape variety: Sauvignon Blanc Country, region: France, Loire Delicious with: Fish, Vegetarian dishes Awarded: De Grote Hamersma 8+ The best Sauvignons are made in the Loire Valley. At least, that’s what most winemakers think. They came from all over the world to France to learn the craft. In the meantime, they have picked up a lot and found their own way, so that Loire producers now in turn travel to, for example, New Zealand or South Africa to gain new insights there. But even though fantastic Sauvignons come from elsewhere, in the eastern Loire Valley the conditions are ideal for the Sauvignon grape. A cool climate and chalky soil form the basis for aromatic, subtle wines with tingling fresh acidity. Pouilly-Fumé and Sancerre are the undisputed stars of the region.
