Dominique Guyot produces this bright, rich, rounded Pouilly Fumé from the 'Les Loges' commune, which is the sweet spot of the appellation. Bracing citrus fruit flavours with underlying 'wet pebble' mineral notes precede a long elegant finish.
The wines of Pouilly are often compared with those of neighbouring Sancerre (“Water divides us wine unites us” is a popular local saying) however they are often richer and more full-bodied and frequently require more time to evolve.
The Wine Gang - www.thewinegang.com says:A bang-on-the-money Pouilly-Fumé showing a bright breeziness but a richer edge to it as well. The aromas ever-evolve and range from zesty lemons to salty seashore breezes while the palate has tight acidity alongside a lovely minerality and citrus fruit mid-palate. It tastes supple and generous even though it has a lovely tension throughout. 90 points.

Simon Hoggart - The Spectator, October 2012 says:Finally a white classic, a Pouilly Fumé from Les Loges. Like Sancerre, this is a Sauvignon Blanc, but it is perhaps just a tad less dry than its neighbour across the Loire, and a shade richer and more full-flavoured. It's a taste I like a lot, combining the flintiness of the French style with a richness you'd more closely associate with New Zealand.
