Pouilly-Fumé, Pearl of the Loire | Jacky Rigaux

It is here in the canton of Pouilly on the banks of the Loire River that the most beautiful wines made from the Sauvignon grape variety are born. "Blanc Fumé," this word resonates brightly in the mind of any lover of great terroir wines. Why this name? Is it because it smokes during the grape harvest, when noble rot has set in? Is it because it has that unmistakable taste of gunflint smoke when you smell and taste it? Certainly for these two reasons! A collective work produced with the support of the Winegrowers' Syndicate of Pouilly-sur-Loire under the direction of Jacky RIGAUX. The authors: Jacky RIGAUX - Patrick COULBOIS - Jean-Claude MENOT - Jean BISSON - Bertrand DAULNY - Foreword by Denis DUBOURDIEU.
