"A soft and mineral expression of Sauvignon Blanc from the terroir of Pouilly. Dry and fruit-luscious, it tastes of citrus, melon, with hints of blackcurrant bud. Distinctly mineral and flinty in the mouth, you can make no mistake that this is French Sauvignon Blanc treated seriously.
Domaine Chollet is a small estate in conversion to organics. The vineyards face south west, helping to maximize the full ripeness of the Sauvignon Blanc grapes. Vines are planted at a density of 6,600 per hectare and are between 15 to 20 years old. Fermentation is traditional with the wines being produced in stainless steel tanks. For more than 60 years, the Chollet estate has managed to make a place for itself among the greatest wines in Val-de-Loire." - Wine House
"This Pouilly Fumé is harvested on clay-limestone and siliceous subsoils with soils of small oyster marl, Villiers limestone and Loire sand distributed around Bouchot. The clayey-siliceous soil produces early and delicious wines, ready to be tasted early; the clay-limestone gives rise to fresh and fruity vintages, and the Kimmeridgian marls, with memories of fossilized Jurassic shells, generate intense flavors of exotic fruits, a beautiful minerality and a superb structure.
This wine is a blend of these 3 terroirs, representing the image of our Estate.
Pale yellow wine with light golden reflections and a lovely shine, this white Pouilly Fumé opens with a nose of white flowers, combining herb notes with citrus zest. On the palate, the attack is lively and frank, very delicious with freshness and a lovely minerality." - Domaine Chollet
