Pouilly Fume Kimeride Jean Pabiot 2022

Pouilly Fume `Kimeride`Jean Pabiot, Loire, France, 2022

Grape: 100% Sauvignon Blanc, marlstone soil, old vines, Terra Vitis sustainable viticulture, partial skin contact maceration, 6-8 months' lees ageing (with stirring), unoaked

This is a special single-vineyard wine from top Pouilly Fumé producer Jean Pabiot. The vines grow on ancient Kimeridgian soils which gives the finished wine a distinctive minerality alongside the intense, flint and gooseberry flavours with notes of white peach and lime. Pale gold in colour, with lovely, balanced acidity and an impressively long finish, this is world class Sauvignon Blanc.

Critic's Tasting Note:

"Exotic, spicy, and mineral, we readily let ourselves be carried away by its very expressive mouthfeel, where pineapple is subtly revealed to us. We also note a beautiful tension and remarkable freshness. A wine that respects its terroir and has it all!"

The diversity of the terroirs, from limestone to marl and flint, contributes to the complexity and depth of Jean Pabiot's wines.
