The Corty Artisan Pouilly-Fume Intro offers an soft chalky nose. The attack and the palate deliver a fine minerality and roundness, offering delicate fruit notes with subtle finish. A nice introduction showing purity.

100% Sauvignon Blanc sourced from 9 Ha (22 acres) : 20 plots on 3 different terroirs in “Les Loges” & “St-Andelain”, devoted to Corty Artisan “Intro”. Fermentation with natural yeasts, aging on lees in thermo-controlled stainless steel tanks.

The origin of the Domaine goes back to 1677, when Edme Corty laid the foundations of a small estate in Pouilly. On the other side of the Loire, Andre Moreux bought his first vines in 1702 in Sancerre. Their love of wine straddles 300 years of history over 14 generations! The two historic estates were united in 1955 by the marriage of Jeannine Corty and Raymond Moreux, direct descendants of Edme and Andre. As a wedding present, their parents gifted them a precious 4.5 Ha. plot of vines on a hillside… “La Loge Aux Moines”! With vineyards in “Les Loges” of Pouilly-Fume and Chavignol of Sancerre, brothers Julien and Arnaud Moreux lay claim to the most exceptional collection of terroir in the Loire.

A very typical Pouilly-Fume that’s super crisp, with the kind of green bell pepper and passion fruit aromas that will appeal to fans of fresh, young Sauvignon whites. It also shows the flinty character we associate with the appellation. Very zesty finish.
