White dry
A classic wine from the Loire Valley, perfectly suited for those who enjoy fresh, light, and fruity aftertastes. Pouilly Fumé is the epitome for all New World ‘Sauvignon Blanc’.
This wine has a pale straw color, and its aromas reveal scents of gooseberries, citrus fruits, and white currants. These are complemented and given distinction by a subtle smoky note. On the palate, a medium body, citrus accents, and a mineral and fresh aftertaste are felt. “Pouilly-Fumé” (Pouilly – the name of the place, Fumé – smoke) grapes grow in a special soil where a mixture of clay and gravel covers limestone, flint, and calcareous tufa. This mineral complex gives the wine a smoky flavor, which links Pouilly-Fumé wines with some of the most elegant ‘Sauvignon Blanc’ in the world. The age of the vines reaches forty years.
Domaine Chatelain “Harmonie” Pouilly-Fume is fermented and aged in stainless steel.
Serve at 8-10 °C with fish, green salad and soft goat's cheese.
The Chatelain family has been cultivating vines on the slopes of Pouilly-sur-Loire since 1630 – the twelfth generation is currently working on the estate. André Chatelain, who passed away in 2005, was one of the first winegrowers in the Pouilly area of the Loire to start exporting his wines and build an international reputation for his winery. These efforts were rewarded with success – Domaine Chatelain has become one of the most recognized producers in Pouilly-sur-Loire.
The grapes for the famous Pouilly-Fumé (Pouilly – the name of the place, Fumé – smoky) grow in a unique, mineral-rich soil composed of a mixture of clay and gravel, covered with limestone, flint, and calcareous tufa. It is this complex of minerals that gives the wine its characteristic smoky flavor, which is inseparable from arguably the most elegant expression of ‘Sauvignon Blanc’ in the world.
