J. de Villebois Pouilly-Fume AOC

This Pouilly-Fumé from J. de Villebois reflects the diversity of the appellation’s terroirs, where Sauvignon Blanc reaches its full expression. The fruit is sourced from a mix of Villiers and Barrois limestone, marl with oyster shells, and clay-flint soils, contributing to the wine’s complexity and distinctive character.

The grapes are quickly transported to the winery to minimise skin contact, then gently pressed in a pneumatic press. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel over 7–15 days, followed by at least six months’ ageing on fine lees before blending and bottling in spring.

Pale yellow-green in colour, the nose shows subtle smoky notes alongside ripe fruit aromas. The palate reveals flavours of candied pineapple, peach and mango, supported by elegant acidity and the hallmark smoky character of Pouilly-Fumé. A refined and expressive example of the appellation.
