Domaine Benoit Chauveau Pouilly-Fume La Charmette, Loire, 2023 western cape The nose is fruit forwardThis 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.
