Domaine Benoit Chauveau Pouilly-Fume La Charmette, Loire, 2023 western cape The wine is the aged

The wine is the aged for 9 months with its lees in French oak barrels

Tasted at the beginning of April on a cold grey day

The nose is fruit forward with ripe blackcurrants to the fore accompanied by violets and cracked black peppercorn

This classy wine has lifted aromas of sweet red cherries

Domaine Benoit Chauveau Pouilly-Fume La Charmette, Loire, 2023 western cape The wine is the agedThis is a classic Pouilly Fum elegant citrus fruit and characteristic mineral notes. The combination of fantastic terroir, adherence to long standing family tradition, and strong passion for wine, all show through. This is hugely enjoyable on its own, but also makes for a versatile pairing. Seafood and Loire Whites are a match made in heaven but this wine suits scallops, monkfish or even a Loire goats cheese and crusty bread.
