Sauvignon Blanc from vines around 40 years old is fermented with its own yeasts and rests for 12 months on fine lees, so it has a fleshy, enveloping texture that the freshness keeps taut. Ripe white fruit and candied citrus meet a mineral, smoky touch, ending in gunflint and a hint of salinity. It is bigger and more generous than most Pouilly-Fumé, so serve it lightly chilled with roast chicken, rich fish, oysters or a goat’s cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAn expressive, generous nose of ripe white fleshed fruit and candied citrus, lifted by a mineral, smoky touch. The palate is ample and suave, with a fleshy, enveloping texture supported by a fine freshness that gives it balance and tension. The finish is long and warm, with gunflint and a subtle salinity. A luminous wine of character, with real depth, that shows the richness of flint. Aged in stainless steel on fine lees for 12 months, after indigenous yeast fermentation and malolactic fermentation. Delicious now, and it should keep well for several years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlend\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSauvignon Blanc 100%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Producer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eDomaine de la Croisée is a young organic Pouilly-Fumé estate in Tracy-sur-Loire, run by Nolwenn Volant and Matthieu Maudry. Matthieu comes from a Pouilly-Fumé winemaking family, and in 2019 the couple took on a neglected vineyard in the north of the appellation, only 2 kilometres from the Loire, and restored it with organic farming. Their vines are around 40 years old, with the estate’s parcels spread over Kimmeridgian marl, clay limestone and flinty silex sands. Their approach is gentle: soil is worked only lightly, grass between the rows is managed mechanically, and the wines are made with a minimum of intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Viname","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62729578021251,"sku":"VIN21925","price":33.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0272\/9843\/1058\/files\/Domaine_de_la_Croisee_Helios_Pouilly-Fume.png?v=1794404536","url":"https:\/\/www.perfectcellar.com\/products\/domaine-de-la-croisee-helios-pouilly-fume-2025","provider":"Perfect Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
