Pouilly Fumé La Croix AC 0.75L

Pouilly-Fumé and Sauvignon Blanc are among the most concise combinations of the Loire: mineral, lively, with that characteristic smoky note that gave the appellation its name. The La Croix from Domaine de la Poussie is a classic representative of this style — dry, direct, without detours.

Pouilly-Fumé is located on the eastern bank of the Loire, opposite Sancerre. The soils of flint (silex) and limestone shape the wine with a mineral tension that sets it apart from other Sauvignon Blancs. Domaine de la Poussie is one of the established names of the appellation and cultivates on these typical terroirs.

In the glass, the La Croix shows gooseberry, white grapefruit, and fresh herbs — elderflower and a hint of nettle, as is typical for Loire Sauvignon. In addition, the varietal-typical acidity structure: taut, but not aggressive. The finish carries the mineral-smoky note that springs from the silex soil.

Served at 8–10 °C, it goes well with goat cheese from the Loire — such as Crottin de Chavignol — but also with oysters, seafood, or a salad with smoked fish. An uncomplicated companion for the summer that still shows character.
