Séverin et Gilles Chollet - Pouilly-Fumé Les Terres Blanches 2022
Loire
White
Sold individually
Drink or Keep
Bearing the imprint of Kimmeridgian marls, this cuvée, comparable to a "grand cru", will reveal its full potential over time. Initially, the fruity character of the Sauvignon will express itself in the first few years, but it will be worth waiting a few years in the cellar for the terroir effect to take over. Great ageing potential!
