Natalie's Score: 91/100

This French white wine is citrus-driven rather than herbal or grassy. Classic Old World Sauvignon Blanc. There's a pale straw hue in the glass. This aromatic French white wine hails from the Loire Valley. Pair with Dover sole in a lemon butter sauce.

Pouilly-Fumé food pairings: pan-seared scallops with grilled asparagus, cheese, pasta with cream-based sauce, pizza, sushi.

Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

From SB grapes grown on clay-limestone soils, a lovely Pouilly-Fume with a fragrant gooseberry & citrus nose with floral notes. Palate shows gooseberry, lemon, slight vegetal aspect of green peas or canned white asparagus. Mouthwatering with zingy acidity. Long citrus finish. You just have to pour a glass of this and sit back to enjoy yourself!
The quality designation for this wine is AC and it's produced by Jean Pabiot & Fils. This winery uses sustainable farming methods. The vines are planted in limestone-clay soils. The white limestone pebbles are known as "caillottes," flat fossilized stones and flint, thus the name of this wine. Bottled in the heart of the Les Loges village in the underground cellars. Previous vintages of this wine won a Silver Medal winner at the prestigious Concours Mondial du Sauvignon wine competition. - Community Wine Reviews
