Description
The Upper Loire Valley is known for two iconic wine growing sub-regions – Pouilly Fume, and Sancerre. Nearly all wine cultivated in these areas are from the Sauvignon Blanc variety and wines from the Pouilly Fume tend to be a little more full-bodied than their Sancerre counterparts.
Situated in the aforementioned Loire valley, AOC Pouilly Fume is an area where Sauvignon Blanc thrives. The Maison Castel team works with a partner-grower whose vines are planted in an excellent quality clay-flint soil which reveals this grape’s expression.
