Blanc Fume de Pouilly, 2018

Sauvignon Blanc, but nothing like the Marlborough kind: taut and citrusy, with real weight from a year in barrel, from Didier Dagueneau's family estate in the Loire.

The most approachable wine from the Dagueneau family in Pouilly-Fume, blended from four plots of younger vines on flint and clay-limestone. Citrus and white flowers on the nose. A wine with genuine weight and a silky texture, kept lively by bright acidity and finishing long and savoury. Lovely now and will keep for several years.
