Regis Minet Pouilly Fume V.v Sauvignon Blanc

Vintage: 2022
Description: Winemaker Notes - Sauvignon Blanc has many incarnations throughout the world, but even in the Loire Valleythe grape's spiritual homePouilly Fum represents a very distinctive example. While it shares the Kimmeridgian limestone of its neighbor Sancerre, its soils also contain fragments of flint, which are presumably responsible for Pouilly Fum's characteristic got de pierre fusil, or gunflint taste. Rgis Minet, a second-generation vigneron who already boasts almost forty harvests under his belt, is always happy to demonstrate how striking together two pieces of flint from his vineyard creates the smoky gunflint aroma typically associated with the wine. A generous host, Rgis is known to greet his guests with cornucopian platters of locally produced meats and Loire goat cheeses. Not surprisingly, his lively, crisp, floral, and beautifully mineral Pouilly Fum is the quintessential foil to savory slices of saucisson and a sticky Crottin de Chavignol.
