Description
2023 Pouilly‑Fumé “Clos Joanne d’Orion”
by Gitton Père & Fils is a crystalline expression of 100% Sauvignon Blanc, sourced from a prized site in the Loire Valley where minerally, flinty soils shape its character. It shimmers in the glass with pale straw hues, as the aromatics dance between citrus blossom, crisp lemon zest, subtly dried orchard fruit, and a spine of gunflint minerality. The palate is beautifully poised—full-bodied yet precise—with waves of juicy citrus, delicate pear, and savory, saline undertones that glide toward a finish marked by finesse and length. Aged solely in stainless steel to preserve the varietal’s energy and clarity, the wine offers both immediacy and elegance. It’s a wonderful companion to fresh fish, grilled vegetables, or intriguingly contrasting flavors like pumpkin purée or bottarga. Gitton Père & Fils, a family estate rooted in traditional Loire winemaking since 1945, continues to shine by sourcing distinctive sites and crafting wines that resonate with both purity and place.
