Tesco Finest Pouilly Fume 2013

The Loire Valley is the place for understated Sauvignon Blanc and this one, made by a great producer called Fournier, is beautifully done. You get gooseberry, lemon and lime flavours but you also get a hint of smokiness, which just makes it all taste, well, expensive. Which given it’s price, is pretty impressive. The vineyards of Pouilly Fume lie on the other side of the Loire River to Sancerre, so it’s similar but with its own Pouilly personality.
