POUILLY FUME – Clément & Florian Berthier
With a clear bright yellow colour, our Pouilly Fumé opens with a nose of white flowers, vegetable notes combined with citrus zest.
On the palate, the attack is forthright and lively, there is great delicacy with freshness and a nice minerality.
Finesse, succulence and smoothness…

“Les vins minéraux se marient également très bien avec les notes iodées de l’huître. Ainsi, un vin de Loire, par exemple un Pouilly-Fumé conviendra parfaitement.”
