Description
In a nutshell:
A really poised and elegant Pouilly Fumé from France's upper Loire Valley which has a wonderful mineralit
The lowdown:
Pouilly-Fumé is one of the classic French expressions of Sauvignon Blanc. And this example from the highly respected organic producer Domaine Laporte is really clean and crisp with characteristic flintiness, followed by a long rounded finish with seductive honeyed aromas. Its length is quite exceptional in which the pure minerality shows through brilliantly.
The Producer:
Since 1986 Domaine Laporte has been under the ownership of the Bourgeois family, well-regarded growers from nearby Chavignol. They kept the old vineyards, cellar and house and maintained the excellent reputation of the Laportes. It is one of the most highly respected estates in the upper Loire Valley with holdings extended to over 30 hectares including some of the most highly regarded vineyards in Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé. They are certified organic producers which they combine with traditional and natural vinification methods and the hallmark of their wines is their purity and freshness.
When to drink:
An excellent Pouilly-Fumé it's great with seafood and especially smoked fish and also partners goat's cheese very well.
