François Lurton Domaine les Fumées Blanches Sauvignon Blanc 2023 Wine Review

Natalie's Score: 92/100

Domaine les Fumées Blanches Sauvignon Blanc 2023 is a fresh and aromatic white from the rolling hills of Gascony in southwest France, a region better known for its Armagnac but increasingly celebrated for its vibrant, fruit-driven whites. The nose is lively and immediately appealing, with zesty grapefruit, green apple, freshly cut grass, and a characteristic smoky, flint-like quality that gives the domaine its name. On the palate it is light to medium bodied with crisp acidity, clean citrus fruit, and a refreshing, clean finish that makes it an effortlessly drinkable everyday white. It is vinified entirely in stainless steel to preserve the grape's natural aromatics and brightness. Fascinating fact: The name Fumées Blanches, meaning white smoke in French, is a poetic reference to the early morning mists that rise over the Gascon vineyards at harvest time, a phenomenon that helps preserve the grapes' natural acidity and aromatic intensity. This wine is best enjoyed well chilled at 8 to 10°C in a standard white wine glass, where its citrus and herbal freshness can shine at their brightest.

Sauvignon Blanc food pairings: oysters on the half shell, zucchini fritters, fresh asparagus with lemon butter, grilled prawns, soft fresh chèvre.
