This gorgeously pure and bright Sauvignon Blanc shows a brilliant bouquet of lemon zest, nectarine, jasmine tea, and quince. The high percentage of silex in the trerroir shows through with a distinct flinty note that adds complexity. The palate has plenty of verve, with notes of ginger, anjou pear, and wet stone. A clear vein of minerality keeps everything in balance.
100% Sauvignon Blanc, all estate fruit, from multiple sites in the village of St. Andelain. Fermented and aged in stainless steel.
Domaine Francis Blanchet is a small 8ha estate situated in the quaint village of St. Andelain. Working alongside his son Mathieu, Francis is the 8th generation family of winegrowers in Pouilly-Fumé. St. Andelain has the distinction of having the largest percentage of silex or “silice” soil in the entire Pouilly Fumé appellation. With the Blanchet’s family commitment to sustainalbe farming, this gorgeous terroir is perfect for making Sauvignon Blanc of class and pedigree, and Francis’ and Mathieu’s wines are just that. These are Sauvignon Blancs of the highest caliber, full of gorgeous aromatics, tension, verve, and bright minerality.
