- TASTING NOTE: Fumé means ‘smoky’ in French which is a key indication of the style. Intense and complex floral aromas melt into smoky, mineral flavours coupled with a refreshing citrus and grapefruit edge. It has a beautiful rounded mouth-feel and an uplifting dry finish. A great food partner, this wine will hold it’s own even alongside rich pork dishes and smoked meats.
- ABOUT THE WINE: In the commune of Pouilly-sur-Loire, Domaine Christian Salmon’s unique vineyard "Clos des Criots" is located in the centre of the village. The soils are marls rich in oyster fossils (Kimmeridgian) and Villiers limestone.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: "Our family has been growing grapes for 6 generations in the Sancerre region, mainly within the famous commune of Bué, whose wines are known throughout the world. My great grandfather, Irénée Salmon, and his sons established vineyards on Bué’s finest slopes. This legacy, passed on from father to son, encourages us to respect the terroir and growing methods in order to allow Nature to best express itself and lend our Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir grapes all of the natural flavours and aromas typical of their special terroir. Today, we own 15 hectares of AOC Sancerre Blanc planted with Sauvignon Blanc grapes, 5 hectares of AOC Sancerre Rouge and Rosé planted with Pinot Noir, and 3.25 hectares of AOC Pouilly-Fumé planted with Sauvignon Blanc grapes in the commune of Pouilly-sur-Loire. We put the very best of ourselves into the cultivation of these terroirs in our relentless quest for quality." Armand Salmon
