Tasting Notes

Intense and aromatic with flinty lemon and apple fruit on the nose. Crisp and bright on the palate, the stony minerality shines through with a wave of crisp acidity crashing into the finish.

Vinification Details.

Fermentation in stainless steel vats for 8 weeks. The wine is then ageing on its fine lees until February following the harvest.

Producer Information

A family owned firm that places a distinct emphasis on tradition and quality, but with a welcome move towards screwcaps from the excellent 2005 vintage onwards the company is also looking forward and embracing the twenty-first century. Given the fresh, crisp, aromatic style of the wines, bottling them under the twisting top makes perfect sense.

Regional info.

From the righthand bank of the Loire river, the winemakers of Pouilly Fume have been named 'Les Affaubertis' by their grandfather. 'Les affaubertis' means strange. Indeed, in the past the winemakers of Pouilly didn't train the vines the same way as the Sancerre winemakers.
