Tasting Notes

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.

Food Pairings

Le Chêteau Pouilly-Fumé is a classic Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc, ideal for refined pairings. Its crisp acidity and mineral backbone make it a perfect match for oysters, shellfish, and grilled white fish. It also pairs beautifully with goat cheese, asparagus, and light salads featuring citrus or herbs. The wine’s freshness complements sushi, ceviche, and Mediterranean cuisine, while its subtle smokiness enhances poultry in lemon or cream sauces. Serve chilled at 8–10 °C to highlight its finesse, purity, and signature flinty elegance.
