Pouilly Fume is full-bodied and round with a fresh attack

in sauce. It reveals also itself with white meats, goat
cheeses or asparagus

Alcohol content : 12.5

Comments : The term "fume" has two explanations:
The first is linked to the varietal "white Sauvignon": when
mature the berries of white Sauvignon are covered in
a smoke-coloured, "fumé"meaning smoky, grey bloom,
which explains why Pouilly wine growers used that name
for this Appellationg
