Pouilly-Fumé
Pouilly-Fumé is a renowned white wine produced in the Loire Valley of France, specifically in the Pouilly-sur-Loire region. It is primarily made from the Sauvignon Blanc grape, which gives the wine its distinctive crispness and aromatic qualities. The name "Fumé" refers to the smoky character that can be found in some wines from this area, attributed to the flint-rich soils.
The wine is known for its vibrant acidity and flavors of citrus, green apple, and sometimes hints of herbs or minerals. Pouilly-Fumé pairs well with seafood, poultry, and goat cheese, making it a versatile choice for various dishes.
