Domaine de Bel Air Pouilly-Fumé
A crisp white wine with vibrant citrus, grassy notes, and a distinctive flinty minerality
Domaine de Bel Air Pouilly-Fumé Pouilly Fumé AOC from Loire, France, is a classic dry white (still) wine crafted from 100% Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes are harvested at night to preserve freshness, then gently pressed and cold-settled before fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine rests on its lees for three to four months, developing an intense and complex aromatic profile of citrus and freshly cut grass, underlined by distinctive flinty notes. The palate is bright and fresh, revealing layers of yellow fruits, blossom, and a hint of ginger, balanced by refreshing acidity and characteristic minerality. This vegan and vegetarian-friendly wine pairs wonderfully with seafood or goat cheese.

Vinification
The grapes were harvested at night to preserve freshness, and very quickly transported to the winery. The grapes were pressed in a Bucher pneumatic press, which ensured good but gentle extraction of the aromatic Sauvignon Blanc character. The juice was cold-settled before fermentation took place in temperature-controlled, stainless steel tanks. The wine remained on its lees for three to four months before racking and bottling.
