Serge Dagueneau & Filles Pouilly Fumé Tradition 2016
Pouilly-Fume, Upper Loire, Loire, FranceTheir flagship wine blends various blocks of sauvignon blanc to provide a snapshot of their Fumé Blanc site. After pressing, this spent a few months on lees until the following January when it was fined and then bottled in the spring. Tight, green and citrus, with hedge, grapefruit, and white flowers, this is a lean and streamline glimpse of savvy, seasoned with a savoury smoked stone, characteristic of Fumé. Austere, including direct pressing and maturing on its fine lees. It expresses exotic fruity nuances of grapefruit and other citrus but also the mineral richness of a « Terres Blanches » terroir.Tasted: 22 February 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $33.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
