FRANCIS BLANCHET POUILLY-FUME CALCITE 2023

Eight generations of Blanchet winemakers have mastered the sustainable cultivation of Sauvignon Blanc on Pouilly-Fumé's distinctive flint-rich soils, where Loire Valley's unique terroir creates such intense minerality that striking two vineyard stones together releases the signature smoky aroma that gives this appellation its "fumé" name. Francis Blanchet's Calcite cuvée, now crafted alongside son Mathieu, captures this extraordinary terroir with explosive aromas of sea salt, crushed oyster shells, and citrus peel, delivering a crisp, mineral-driven wine with bright white fruit flavors and the authentic smoky character that defines true Pouilly-Fumé.
