The 2018 Pouilly-Fumé from Domaine Chatelain, particularly the Les Cailloux Silex cuvée, showcases the remarkable minerality of its Sancerre terroir, scoring a well-deserved 95 points. This Sauvignon Blanc bursts with vibrant notes of ripe citrus, green apple, and a hint of flint, reflecting the unique silex soil that gives it depth and character. On the palate, it’s crisp and refreshing, with a zesty acidity that dances alongside a subtle herbal undertone. Ideal for a summer seafood feast or a cozy evening with friends, this wine is not only a delight but also a smart buy for the quality, delivering exceptional value for its original retail price of $40.
