Product notes

Pouilly-Fumé’s complexity originates from the various Pouilly-Fumé terroirs. Like nowhere in the world, the Sauvignon Blanc grape variety reveals its full potential thanks to the diverse terroirs of Pouilly. Thanks to rigorous work in the vineyard and the winery, J. de Villebois encapsulates the spirit of the Pouilly-Fumé appellation.

Tasting notes

Pale yellow-green color. The subtle nose reveals a combination of smoky and ripe fruit flavors. The palate is dominated by flavors of candied pineapple, peach, and mango. An elegant acidity supports the typical “smoky” flavors of Pouilly Fumé and completes this great wine. Delicious on its own or as an apéritif. Goes very well with oysters and lobster, rich seafood dishes, and goat cheeses
