Pouilly-Fume AOC Cecile Lebrun, 2019

Fresh apples, white blossoms with a hint of passion fruit, 2019 Cécile Lebrun Pouilly Fumé is supple and smooth with fresh lime flavours. It is quite light in weight yet broad in structure with a pithy citrus finish. The Pouilly Fumé appellation in the far east of the Loire Valley lies just across the river from Sancerre around the town of Pouilly-sur-Loire. Both appellations make similar dry crisp wines from Sauvignon Blanc grown on limestone and clay hills on either side of the Loire. Pouilly Fumé should not be confused with Pouilly-Fuissé from Burgundy, which is made from Chardonnay.
