Domaine Figeat les Craies 2021

Pouilly-Fume AOC

/ 5 ( reviews)

Decanter calls Pouilly-Fumé one of "the very greatest incarnations of Sauvignon Blanc". Enjoy this standout 2021 from Anne-Sophie, who trained in medicine, then switched to wine. A stint in the New World shines through in this pristine, citrus white.

If you love classic Sauvignon or count yourself as a great Sancerre fan, try Anne-Sophie's divine Domaine Figeat Pouilly-Fumé. This is the other Central Loire appellation vying for the greatest Sauvignon crown and it certainly delivers in this pristine 2021. Anne-Sophie is a tenth-generation winemaker, who went off first to train in medicine, but her passion for Pouilly won through. She rejoined the family tradition, training at Dijon, then did a stint at Cloudy Bay. And it's paid dividends, giving her a New World outlook to her fine French upbringing. This is from her single vineyard, Les Craies, with its fine limestone soils, ideal for flinty, herbaceous and capiscum flavour. Citrus and minerally fresh, serve with finest seafood.
