Le Cheteau Poilly Fume
COLOUR
Pale straw yellow with subtle green reflections, bright and crystalline in the glass, reflecting freshness and youth.
AROMA
Elegant and aromatic, with notes of citrus, green apple, and gooseberry. Hints of white flowers, flint, and mineral smoke — the hallmark of Pouilly-Fumé — add depth and complexity. Delicate undertones of herbs and lime zest complete its refined bouquet.
PALATE
Dry, crisp, and well-structured. The palate opens with vibrant flavours of lemon, grapefruit, and green apple, balanced by a distinct minerality and refreshing acidity. The texture is smooth yet lively, leading to a long, clean, and slightly smoky finish that is both elegant and precise.
CELLARING
Best enjoyed within 3–5 years of vintage to capture its brightness and minerality, though capable of developing subtle roundness with short-term ageing.
