Eric Louis Pouilly Fume 2022 from Pouilly‑sur‑Loire is a pristine, mineral‑laced Sauvignon Blanc that captures the appellation’s classic smoky, flinty edge in a super‑bright, beautifully polished style. This Domaine Eric Louis Pouilly Fumé 2022 shows pale gold colour with brilliant shine and is crafted from organically farmed fruit with a focus on purity and finesse in the cellar.

On the nose, expect intense yet subtle aromas of lemon, grapefruit, green apple and gooseberry layered with gentle grassy notes, white flowers and the hallmark whiff of wet stone and gunflint from the silex‑rich soils. The palate is crisp and pure, balancing zesty citrus and orchard fruits with a cool, stony minerality and a touch of roundness in the mid‑palate that keeps everything from feeling too lean, finishing long, dry and mouth‑watering.

Eric Louis Pouilly Fume 2022 is a natural partner for South Australian oysters, shellfish platters, grilled whiting or simply crumbed fish and chips, where its acidity and flinty cut slice neatly through brine and batter. It’s also superb with goat’s cheese, asparagus, light poultry dishes or fresh herb‑driven salads, making it a go‑to Loire Sauvignon for those who like their whites precise, mineral and refreshingly food‑friendly.
