Pouilly fume J. De Villebois 2022 (375ML Mini Bottle )
Pouilly-Fume is the Sauvignon Blanc appellation located on the Right Bank of the Loire River. The appellation was created in 1937 originally as Blanc Fume de Pouilly. Pouilly Fume takes its name from Pouilly-sur-Loire, the village from which the wines originate; while 'Fume' refers to Blanc Fume, the local synonym for Sauvignon Blanc. Fume translates as 'smoky', which denotes the struck gunflint notes that characterise the wines. The Sauvignon Blanc grapes that produced this cuvee are grown on the main Pouilly Fume terroirs of Villiers and Barrois, where the soils are made up of limestone, marls with oyster shells and clayey-flint Silex soils. It is these flinty 'Silex' soils, which impart the characteristic smoky flavours in the wine.
