Flint, Marl and the Loire's Sauvignon Blanc
Pouilly-Fumé is one of the Loire's two great Sauvignon Blanc villages, and La Moynerie's vines grow north of Pouilly-sur-Loire on a checkerboard of limestone, Kimmeridgian marl and clay with flint — the silex soils behind the appellation's famous gunflint character. The estate ferments in temperature-controlled stainless steel and ages the wine on its fine lees, a classic recipe for taut, mineral white wine.

Tasting Notes

How to Enjoy
Serve well chilled, around 10–12°C, with grilled fish, seafood, salmon tartare or aged goat cheese — the classic Loire pairings for Pouilly-Fumé.
