Let's start with the name. Pouilly-Fumé is synonymous with the Loire, one of the most fascinating regions of France. The climate is pleasantly cool, and the white grape varieties do well here, especially Sauvignon, which is processed with care and skill by historic companies such as Maison de Ladoucette. This Baron de L, in particular, is probably considered one of the highest expressions of the vine, the result of careful selection and able to mature for a long time in the bottle. A fabulous wine today, then, but also able to wait for the right time to uncork it when the table is planned for a menu based on fish as it should be". Let's not test it with a simple sole or baked fish. But let's make sure it can best enhance a great fish stew or a well-flavored soup. In the glass it immediately shows what it is made of. Golden yellow color, on the nose it has a bouquet as delicate as it is complex. It recalls scents of ripe white fruit, then very fresh vegetable notes and some mineral hints. on the palate it has great breadth and roundness. Fresh thanks to its natural acidity which is not excessive, overall it is well balanced and rewarding.
