Pouilly Fume La Charmette Chauveau 14% 2020 750ml

The Chauveau family have been making wine since the 19th Century, and in the mid 1990s Benoit Chauveau gradually took over the vineyards of his grandparents and parents. Today, their property has over 17 hectres including of Pouilly Fumé, Pouilly sur Loire and Coteaux du Giennois. A new cellar was added to the estate for the 2012 harvest. Their approach is to continually strive to improve the quality of their wines through the development of sustainable methods.

Domaine Benoît Pouilly Fumé is a dry white wine, made from 100 % Sauvignon grapes and produced only by the Domaine’s own vineyards. It is vinified, bottled at the domain and marketed by us in France and in about twenty countries.

The 2020 vintage is pale, crystalline yellow with green tints. Racy nose combining citrus fruits, delicate minerality and blackcurrant bud. Well-balanced, light, tense palate revealing great quality aromatics with restrained exuberance. Lovely clean characters and precision. Pouilly Fumé makes a delightful aperitif. It is also perfect with seafood, fish both grilled and in sauce, scallops and white meats.
