Pouilly Fumé La Charmette 2023
Pouilly-Fumé
This Sauvignon Blanc is a smooth criminal. Comes unannounced, turns your life upside down, and leaves too soon. Better have another bottle on standby.
I'm a nerd, I want every detail
From the hillsides of Saint-Andelain, La Charmette is pure Sauvignon Blanc shaped by marl and limestone. Crystal-clear, opening with citrus, greengage, white flowers, and a chalky edge that makes you come back for more. It's not a contemplative wine, but it's not a rave wine either — and that might be the best definition of balance.
The Craft
- 100% Sauvignon Blanc.
- Grapes pressed using a pneumatic press; cold settling.
- Alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel at controlled temperatures.
- Aged on lees for 5–8 months.
- 13% ABV.
- Lifespan: 5 years.
The Occasion
An elegant aperitif, and ideal with seafood, grilled or sauced fish, scallops, and delicate white meats — serve it cold but not chilled to enjoy the fruit.
Benoit Chauveau
The Chauveau family has grown vines in Pouilly since the nineteenth century, when their grapes were still sent to the local cooperative. After earning his agricultural engineering degree, Benoît returned in 1995 to take over his parents’ and grandparents’ vineyards, building the family’s first cellar to make their own wines. He leads the viticulture and winemaking, alongside his wife Emmanuelle, who guides the estate’s administrative and commercial life. Their daughter Lise—an agricultural engineer and oenologist—joined in 2021 and planted nine additional hectares of Pouilly-Fumé in 2023.
Today, the family farms around thirty hectares and produces roughly 200,000 bottles a year with a steady devotion to Pouilly’s hillsides.
