Domaine Francis Blanchet Pouilly-Fume "Cuvee Silice" 2024 (750ml)

Domaine Francis Blanchet's "Cuvée Silice" is a Sauvignon Blanc from Pouilly-Fumé, the Loire Valley appellation known for mineral-driven expressions of the varietal. This 2024 vintage captures the wine in its youthful, vibrant state.

The wine opens with bright citrus and herbaceous notes, with a distinctive minerality that runs through the middle palate and into the finish. There's a taut, clean structure here, crisp acidity supports the stone fruit and green apple character without heaviness. The overall impression is of precision and restraint, a wine that lets terroir speak rather than seeking richness or ripeness. It drinks well now, with the kind of energy and definition that defines the best young Pouilly-Fumés.
