Pouilly-Fumé Le Troncsec 2019

Pouilly Fume

This single vineyard Pouilly Fumé shows delicate mineral notes balanced with flavours of mango and citrus.

Vineyards

Le Troncsec is a single vineyard of 9.5 hectares, located in the commune of Saint Laurent l'Abbaye. The vines are planted on soils primarily composed of Kimmeridgian limestone marl. This is typified by a stoney surface and clay deeper down. All vineyard processes are carried out in an environmental manner, adapted for each terroir.

Vintage

The 2019 was overall a good vintage in Central Loire, despite the frost episodes in early spring. The summer was very hot, with the heat stress impacting the overall yields but the remaining fruit quality was outstanding, yielding balanced and harmonious wines.

Winemaking

Following on from cold static settling, the fermentation takes place at low temperatures in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks.

Enjoy with:

  • Grilled and Roasted White Meats
  • Fish/Shellfish
  • Salads and Picnics
  • Mild Creamy Cheeses
  • Spicy
A marvellous match for shellfish and fish such as sole, salmon or trout, lobster or with green salads.
