Domaine de Fontenille: A Legacy in the Loire
Situated in the southern reaches of Pouilly-Fumé, Domaine de Fontenille has been crafting estate-grown Sauvignon Blanc for generations. Meticulous vineyard practices—rooted in organic and biodynamic principles—ensure healthy vines and pure fruit expression.
Terroir & Vinification
The vineyards rest on steep slopes of Kimmeridgian limestone and clay, lending a remarkable mineral backbone to the wines. Grapes are gently pressed, fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, and aged briefly on fine lees to enhance texture and complexity.
Tasting Profile
Appearance: Pale gold with green highlights.
Aroma: Bright notes of grapefruit, green apple, white flowers, and a distinctive gunflint (silex) character.
Palate: Crisp acidity, a sleek mid-palate, and a lingering, mineral-driven finish.
Food Pairing & Serving
Serve chilled at 10–12 °C (50–54 °F). Perfect with oysters, seabass ceviche, goat cheese salads, or simply as an aperitif. Its refreshing acidity and mineral core balance fatty seafood and creamy cheeses effortlessly.
