Domaine Roc de l'Abbaye 
Pouilly-Fumé
‘Tradition’ cuvéesLes marnes de Boisgibault apportent une texture dense et soyeuse à notre Blanc Fumé de Pouilly. Les arômes de fruits mûrs (ananas, cassis, fleur d’oranger...) se révèlent généreusement, ils sont portés par une bouche minérale et rafraîchissante complimentée par de riches notes confites extraites de raisins très concentrés.

'Fresh cut grass, grapefruit zest, and sea spray are bright and fresh aromas from this pale yellow wine with light golden highlights. Crisp and zesty, the flavors of citrus flow over the palate with notes of limestone, dried pineapple, and fresh garden herbs.' |
