The 2018 Pouilly-Fumé from Domaine Maltaverne is a delightful white wine hailing from the esteemed Les Vignobles du Centre in France's Loire Valley. Known for its rich Sauvignon Blanc varietals, this wine showcases the unique mineral-driven characteristics typical of the region's flinty terroir, complemented by the year's favourable growing conditions. The Loire Valley, especially the Pouilly-Fumé appellation, benefits from a temperate climate combined with well-drained, limestone-rich Kimmeridgian marl soils, which impart a distinctive smoky note. Domaine Maltaverne has garnered a reputation for crafting expressive and refined wines that reflect their deep-rooted dedication to traditional winemaking practices.
For culinary pairings, this Pouilly-Fumé is an excellent match for fresh seafood, particularly oysters or grilled white fish, allowing its crisp acidity and vibrant citrus notes to shine. Additionally, it harmonises wonderfully with soft goat cheese, a classic Loire pairing, and can elevate dishes featuring asparagus or light, herbal sauces. For a regional touch, consider serving it alongside a dish of Chavignol cheese, highlighting the wine's Loire heritage.
To fully appreciate this wine, it's best served at a temperature of 10-12°C. Allowing it to breathe for about 30 minutes in a decanter can enhance its aromatic complexity. Upon tasting, start by observing its pale straw hue before taking in its aromatic palette of citrus, green apple, and the signature smokiness. On the palate, expect a lively acidity with a smooth, mineral finish. Such attentiveness in tasting will deepen your appreciation of this exquisite Pouilly-Fumé.
