Tasting Note

Domaine Lebrun Pouilly-Fumé is a refined white wine that shows all the hallmarks of this prestigious Loire appellation. Pale lemon in colour, it opens with aromas of zesty citrus, green apple, and subtle floral notes, underpinned by the region’s signature flinty smokiness. On the palate, it’s crisp and structured, with vibrant fruit balanced by mineral depth. The finish is long, fresh, and gently smoky, making this an excellent example of classic Pouilly-Fumé craftsmanship.

Top food pairings:

• Goat’s cheese – the quintessential Loire pairing
• Smoked salmon with dill and lemon
• Grilled asparagus or spring vegetables

Kate Says

"A classic here, Pouilly-Fumé is softer and rounder than its neighbour Sancerre, with a lovely flinty smokiness. A lovely wine with smoked salmon."
