Pouilly-Fumé AOC La Demoiselle de Bourgeois 2015 Henri Bourgeois

The Pouilly-Fumé La Demoiselle de Bourgeois comes from the Pouilly-Fumé area, part of the Loire Valley exceptionally suited to the production of Sauvignon Blanc with a peculiarly smoked trait.

It consists of 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes, the result of a very limited selection of bunches at the time of harvest. The soils have a very mineral profile, defined by Kimmeridgian marls typical of the Saint-Laurent L'Abbaye area. The characteristics of softness, depth and longevity of these wines are due to this particular terroir. The fermentation of the must takes place for 85% in steel tanks, while the remaining 15% ages in wooden barrels; in the same containers it matures in contact with its own fine lees.

Straw yellow, at sight. Citrus, quince, pear and exotic fruit scents integrate with a floral and slightly smoked trail. On the palate it shows balance, complexity and elegance, marked by a full body and a dynamics of very fine sapidity.

Ideal to accompany a plate of fresh or medium-aged cheeses.
