Henri Bourgeois Pouilly-Fumé 'La Porte de L'Abbaye' 2022

• Region: Loire Valley
• Sub-Region: Pouilly-Fumé
• Varieties: Sauvignon Blanc

Vineyard Sourced from the slopes of Pouilly-sur-Loire, where the soil is a distinct mix of Kimmeridgian marl and flint (silex). The Bourgeois family utilizes sustainable viticulture to ensure the Sauvignon Blanc grapes capture the signature "gunflint" mineral character for which this appellation is globally renowned.

Wine An elegant and high-toned white that defines the Pouilly-Fumé style. It offers a fragrant bouquet of citrus zest, white peach, and a piercing smoky minerality. The palate is structural and precise, featuring a fine-grained texture and a refreshing, saline finish that lingers with notes of lime and stone.
