Generous aromas of grapefruit and lemon citrus rise first, followed by flinty gun‑flint and slate undertones. The palate reveals layers of green apple, pear, and honey, held together by tense acidity and pronounced mineral grip. The finish is taut and intriguing, offering both depth and age-worthy structure. Pairs effortlessly with meaty or oily fish, roasted trout, asparagus salad, or light poultry dishes—any matching dish that complements its mineral drive and textured body.
This wine strikes a beautiful balance between power and finesse. Its full-bodied profile still retains superb clarity and minerality, making it a remarkable choice for anyone who appreciates rich Sauvignon Blanc anchored in geological authenticity.
Description
“Indigène” refers to the native yeasts found naturally in the grapes, and this Pouilly‑Fumé delivers their expressive impact. Made from old-vine parcels in the flinty and limestone soils of Tracy-sur-Loire, it offers a rich, mineral-driven expression of Pouilly‑Fumé—bold yet elegant, and unmistakably rooted in place.
