Note:
Pouilly-Fumé is fresh and crisp. Green apple, lime, and grass are present on the nose, along with the typical gooseberry and a hint of peach. In the mouth, there's a bit more fruit, but also the crisp minerality of the flint.
"Pouilly" refers to Pouilly-sur-Loire, a town near the wine-growing area. "Fumé," on the other hand, has only a limited connection to the translation of "smoke." It's less about a smoky-tasting wine than about the geological composition of the soil, made up of flint and marl.
Food Pairing: Smoked herring, Salmon, Sushi, smoked ham & cheese.
