Domaine Les Poëte Pouilly-Fumé (sauvignon) dry white 2022:

RVF Guide to the Best Wines of France (August 2023): 90/100. "It also offers (like the S) a real fruity tenderness in 2022, finely exotic, without excess; the finish is well-provided and sculpted by small bitters.

Technical sheet written by the domaine:

Grape variety: 100% Sauvignon blanc

Viticulture of the domaine:
Work of the vines, plants, and soils according to the principles of organic or biodynamic farming (bordeaux mixture, copper sulfate, plant extracts, composts, homemade preparations). No certification.
Search for environmental balance (vines, forests, fruit trees, sheep, chickens, bees…)
Local seeds of grasses, melliferous mixtures both to compete with the vine and to nourish insects and animals. Sown or spontaneous cover crops.
Reasoned soil work (opening of soils in spring, aeration and superficial work until June, then no intervention until after the harvest). Respect for nitrogen cycles.
Trellising work to direct the plant towards the sky (early bud removal, then lifting, very late topping, and only one trimming. Search for verticality and finesse, aeration, and clarity.
Manual harvesting, either in crates or with an elevator bin respecting the integrity of the fruits.

Oenology:
Harvest triggered by the balance of aromatic maturity / analytical maturity.
Sorting in the vineyard if necessary, filling the press with inerting, transfers of musts under nitrogen.
Cold settling only. Indigenous or non-indigenous fermentation, in tanks or barrels (400 and 600 L).  One parcel = one or several tanks/barrels. Vinification and aging in separate containers.
Blending at the end of aging (12 to 18 months depending on the vintage).  Sulfiting as late as possible (using inerting). Stabilization of wines by fining. Filtration or not.

WARNING : the capsule of this bottle is made of food-grade wax. To open it under the best conditions, push your corkscrew directly through the wax, and once it is well into the cork, pull sharply (without using the lever if you have a waiter’s friend), in short, "the old-fashioned way." This is the best way to avoid "wax crumbs" in the bottle!
