Pours a crystalline pale straw with a flinty glimmer. The aromatics open with lemon blossom, fresh lime, and orchard fruits, overlaid with striking gun‑flint and smoky minerality. The palate is taut and chiselled, offering citrus precision, slate-driven tension, and lingering saline depth—a transparent reflection of terroir. Pair this wine with oysters, smoked trout, rich fish in cream sauces, or aged goat cheeses. Its structure complements both delicate and bold flavors.
“Blanc Fumé” delivers a powerful yet refined expression—crisp citrus, striking smoky minerality, and elegant structure in perfect balance. It’s a Pouilly‑Fumé with poise, ideal for both immediate enjoyment and contemplation over time.
Description
A Pouilly‑Fumé benchmark, “Blanc Fumé” is Pascal Jolivet’s signature Sauvignon Blanc from the right bank of the Loire. Crafted from a precise blend of limestone, flint, and clay-limestone soils in Tracy-sur-Loire and beyond, this wine is naturally vinified and embodies both elegance and power.
