2020 Pouilly-Fumé, Domaine des Fines Caillottes, Jean Pabiot et Fils (half)
Loire sauvignons compliment fish and seafood dishes brilliantly, offering a generally fresher, more elegant and dare I say slightly smokier character than the popular sauvignons from the likes of New Zealand. The fish is not overpowered but more elevated and enhanced in flavour while the minerally citrusy zing of the wine lingers long after the first sip. If you've never tried Pabiot's Pouilly-Fumé before you're in for a real treat.

Tasting note:
Classic grassy aromas with a definite hint of citrus on the nose and then on the palate there is a crisp mineral character and green fruit on the finish. There is a perfect balance of ripe, zesty fruit, and characteristic minerality. Excellent.
