Pouilly Fume La Rambarde Landrat et Guyollot 2020

Pouilly Fume La Rambarde, Domaine Landrat - Guyollot, Loire, France, 2020

Grape: 100% Sauvignon Blanc, unoaked, certified sustainable vineyards

The estate has been in the ownership of the present family for some ten generations and comprises of 15 hectares of vines in the prestigious communes of Saint-Andelain, Tracy and Pouilly.

This is a well established family domaine at `Les Berthiers` in the village of Pouilly sur Loire. The wine is elegant and well balanced with a light smoky aroma and a hint of gunflint and elderberry. It is wonderfully rich with nettles, gooseberry and minerals on the palate, but balanced by good weight of lemony acidity and a full flinty finish. This dry white has layers of clean Sauvignon Blanc fruit combined with added complexity due to the minerality derived from these soils.

Critic's Tasting Note:

"As a showcase of a new style of rich Pouilly Fumé, this is exemplary. The wine offers great ripeness and generous citrus and apple fruits. It also has a tight texture, with a mineral edge balanced by acidity. Drink this full-bodied wine from 2024."
