Pouilly Fume
Pouilly Fumé Wine - Buy Wine from the Pouilly Fumé Region of France
Pouilly Fumé, on the right bank of the Loire, yields wines from flinty soils that are drier, more minerally, less fruit accentuated and longer-lived than Sancerre from across the water. The appellation which was created in 1937 (one year after Sancerre) takes its name from the town of Pouilly-sur-Loire and should not be confused with the Burgundian appellation of Pouilly-Fuissé. Only white wines are produced.
Dominique Guyot is a veteran fournisseur of top-notch Sauvignon. His Pouilly Fumé from the central Les Loges escarpment is typically tauter and leaner than
most Sancerre, with gun-flint aromas and a racy palate of clean, orchard fruit over ‘wet pebble’ tastes. We are so enamoured of Dominique’s wine that we list it in every possible format – halfbottles, bottles and, for those who like to cut a dash, magnums.
