Pouilly-Fume


See Pouilly-Fume producers See a list of Pouilly-Fume wines See map

Pouilly-Fumé is a famous Loire white Sauvignon Blanc appellation located on the river's right bank of the Loire.

Compared to Sancerre on the opposite bank, the Pouilly-Fumé appellation is approximately half  the size at 1200 ha, tightly focused round the villages of St Andelain and Les Loges on a fairly homogeneous, south-west facing slope. The appellation's soils are divided between limestone-rich Kimmeridgean and Portlandian (less active calcium) clay, with the cherry on the cake being the red flinty clay soils clustered around the St Andelain button./knoll.

Top vineyards in Pouilly-Fumé include `les Cocques', `les Bois', and `les Cornets'. The result is a floral, finely poised but powerful nose with a noticeably limestony dry minerally palate, held taut by a fine structure. Indeed such is the stony intensity of a good Pouilly-Fumé that an increasing number of producers are ageing their best crus in french oak, to good effect.

Recommmended Producers:
Didier Dagueneau, Alain Cailbourdin, André Dezat and the up and coming Nicolas Gaudry.

You can sense the older vines that lie behind this wine, treating us to an extra roll of limy, almost lush ripe fruit that accompanies the wine's deep-seated stone minerality. Not one to crow early on, the Dezat's Pouilly-Fume 2008 boasts a ripeness that can't be ignored. Try it with ... MORE
