Domaine André et Edmond Figeat ‘Melody’ Pouilly-Fumé 2021/22

Description

Pouilly-Fumé is, to many, the finest expression of Sauvignon Blanc in France. It has a signature smokiness (‘Fumé’ is French for ‘smoke) that’s imitated the world over. But nothing beats the real thing. This one is made by one of the most-experienced family wineries in the region. André Figeat and his daughter, Anne-Sophie, apply no-expense-spared winemaking practices (strict pruning measures and plenty of patience) to bring the ripest Pouilly-Fumé to your glass. Expect flavours of citrus, peach and grapefruit, gunflint aromas and a long finish. Thanks to lees-ageing, it has a textured complexity that’s great with goat’s cheese.
