2017 Blanchet Sauvignon Blanc

Aromas of smoke, white flowers and lemon rind. Flavors of limes and lemons, white fruits, white pepper. Crisp and lively. Hand-harvested. Pressed full cluster; fermented and aged on fine lees in temperature-controlled, stainless steel tanks. 100% Sauvignon Blanc. A single-vineyard selection from a 100% flint-stone plot outside the hamlet of Les Berthiers, near Pouilly-sur-Loire. The vineyard sits on a slope and faces southeast. Some of the vineyard’s flint rocks are the size of grapefruit; when you strike two together, the smell is unmistakably that of firecracker smoke.
