A well-composed, balanced and juicy white. On the nose aromas of fresh apples, dried quince peel and warm spices. Medium-bodied with a mellow character. Delicate fruit with a vivid and juicy finish. Drink now.

90pts Wine Enthusiast

The wine has a fresh nose of quince, ripe Barlett pear, crushed stone and chamomile with just the faintest suggestion of dill. The wine is bright and lively on the palate with a line of stoniness running through it. Pair with seafood, carnitas tacos and chicken wings. 

Tasting Notes

A pale colour with gleaming highlights. The nose reveals nuances of citrus, from the flower and the pulp, to the zest, complemented by delicately smoky notes. The palate is fresh, full and mouth-watering, with citrus zest, soft spices and a saline minerality. The lingering finish is superb with magnificent bitter undertones.

Winemaker Notes

Pouilly-Fumé’s complexity originates from the various Pouilly-Fumé terroirs. Like nowhere in the world, the Sauvignon Blanc grape variety reveals its full potential thanks to the diverse terroirs of Pouilly. Thanks to rigorous work in the vineyard and the winery, J. de Villebois encapsulates the spirit of the Pouilly-Fumé appellation.
