2019 Domaine Fernand & Sons Coteaux de Giennois

Yves and Fernand Thibault are well known winemakers in Coteaux du Giennois, the region that abuts Pouilly Fumé to the north, sharing very similar soils. Fernand and Sons is a new venture, named after their Grandfather who bought land here in the 1920s. This example comes from a recently bought vineyard that has the famous Silex soil, flint and sandy soil, found in the best sites of Pouilly Fumé.

It's a sauvignon blanc with a lovely floral, ripe gooseberry nose with hints of leafiness and stony notes and a complex almost creamy long palate with mineral notes and a fresh citrus and saline finish, really impressive.
