Intro t0 Pouilly Fume Domaine de Maltaverne l’Ammonite –

Pouilly Fume Domaine de Maltaverne l’Ammonite from the Loire is a superb example of a well made Loire Sauvignon with a wonderful innate herbal flintiness on nose and palate.

Full tasting note and wine making –

Pouilly Fume Domaine de Maltaverne l’Ammonite from the Loire has ripe and concentrated fruit characters on the nose, and is smokey and grassy with minerality and a peppery herbaceous note. The palate is also super smokey with a wonderful flintiness, as well as herbal and bay aromas and ripe pink gooseberries. The beautiful label represents ammonite fossil shells found in Gilles vineyard, sketched by an artistic wine lover following a tasting, to represent what he visualised on savouring this wonderful wine.

The vineyards are planted on kimmeridgian soil (fossilised clay-chalk – superb for low yields and mineral content) facing south-southwest which gives increased exposure to the sun and they are fertilised organically. Harvesting is done by hand and or machine depending on the vintage. The vinification is old fashioned and ‘hands off’ ie allowed to run its course. Fermentation is done by indigenous yeasts only followed by naturally occurring malolactic fermentation, which helps soften the wines by converting the harsher acids to more palatable ones. The winemaker Gilles Maudry believes in allowing the full malolactic fermentation to run its natural course. This allows fine lees to stay in contact with the wine for fifteen months after harvest, enriching the flavours with more intensity and incredible freshness.

Drink with –

This wine is great on its own as an aperitif and goes with just about anything! Traditionally it is paired with fish including salmon, mussels and shellfish such as crab or lobster and white meat like chicken or veal. It is also a great partner to mushroom dishes, particularly omelette.
