Domaine Francis Blanchet Cuvee Calcite Pouilly-Fumé 2024
‘Calcite’ is Sauvignon Blanc by way of Chablis!
Here Francis Blanchet selects vineyards rich in chalky marl (specifically Kimmeridgian, for the geologists among us) for a white wine that screams sea shells and days by the beach — so much energy, so much true “minerality.”
A gorgeous partner for fruits de mer in all their wonderful variety.
