Tasting Notes
Appearance: Bright pale gold with green reflections, indicating freshness and vibrancy.
Nose: Aromatic and precise, with lifted notes of gooseberry, citrus peel, and white peach, underpinned by the region's trademark flinty, smoky minerality ('fumé' means 'smoky' in French).
Palate: Elegant and mouth-watering, showing flavours of grapefruit, lime, and green apple, balanced by zesty acidity and a subtle chalky texture. The wine is both crisp and complex, revealing layers of wet stone, fresh herbs, and a whisper of white florals.
Finish: Long, clean, and mineral-driven, with a refreshing citrus note that lingers gracefully.
Perfect with seafood, goat cheese, fresh salads, or as a refined aperitif, Château Favray Pouilly-Fumé is a must-try for lovers of vibrant, terroir-focused white wines.
