Domaine Lebrun, Pouilly-Fume "Eugenie" 2020

Get to know: Domaine Lebrun Pouilly-Fumé Cuvee Eugenie 2020

A more complex, long-lived Sauvignon from the classic Loire appellation.

Tasting Note

Domaine Lebrun Pouilly-Fumé Eugenie 2020 comes from Laurent's best parcels and is aged in large wooden vats, giving the wine more length and complexity. The vineyards of Pouilly-fumé are typically flinty-clay based as opposed to Sancerre's limestone. The resulting wine tend to come with more aromatic depth and texture compared to the mineral tension of Sancerre. This very special wine is showing a side of the Loire we don't often see and it's well worth the experience.

Nic Says

"If you want to branch out a little from your typical Loire Sauvignon and go on a great ride, this is the one to pick. I reckon a chicken supreme or some creamy linguine alla vongole would make this wine shine."
