 Pouilly-Fumé
is one of the right-bank appellations in the upper Loire river
valley that produce some of the best Sauvignon Blanc wines in
the world. A cool climate and chalky limestone soils yield wines
that are full-flavored and distinctive, from grapes that are
just ripe enough to offer an excellent balance of fruit and
acidity. Known for their elegant richness, these wines are superb
at the table or equally suited as an aperitif.
Péchignolles is one of a series of single vineyard Pouilly-Fumé
wines produced by the Gitton family. The soil of the Péchignolles
vineyard is based on chalky limestone, not unlike that found
in Champagne. The nose is captivating with aromas of violets
and fresh fruit. Smooth and silky impressions follow through
on the palatte which linger long into the finish.
An elegant, flavorful and reasonably-priced wine that can be
served with an enormous variety of dishes such as oysters, clams,
shellfish, grilled fish or lighter fish served with or without
full-flavored sauces, or other vegetable dishes where lighter
but challenging flavors are prominent.
