Domaine Lebrun Pouilly-Fumé 2024

If you're more discerning than your friends who order Sancerre because of the flashy name, this is what you should introduce them to. Classic, flinty, mineral Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire, oozing charm and character. Racy and fresh with a hint of smoke and citrus, this is begging to be enjoyed on a summers day, on the terrace with good snacks and company. At once rich and delicate, it would be a wonderful food pairing goats cheese, cooked or not. 

Laurent Lebrun trained as a winemaker in Montpellier, spent his formative years training in Australia and then returned to France to take up the position of General Manager and Head Winemaker at Château Olivier, Grand Cru Classé in Bordeaux. He has recently taken over the running of his family estate in Pouilly-Fumé which makes classic, elegant, flinty wines from 9 hectares of vines on the slopes of St. Andelain.
