Domaine de Bel Air Pouilly Fume 'Les Pierres Blanches' / 2022 / 75cl

This 13.5 hectare domaine is set in the commune of le Bouchot on the slopes coming out of the village of Pouilly. It is very much a family affair in the hands of Katia Mauroy-Gauliez, who co-owns the estate with her father and brother, and who was the driving force behind the new winery built in 2002.

Domaine de Bel Air is planted with 13 hectares of Sauvignon Blanc on a variety of soils, calcaire at le Bouchot, marnes at St Andelain and sand in Pouilly. They have taken great care in the winemaking to express the terroir by carefully preserving the natural fruit characteristics with some time on lees for more texture. The resulting wine is bursting with fresh citrus notes of lemon and grapefruit, along with pear and peach and even some more tropical notes. The fresh fruit are accompanied by rich aromas of nettles and minerality with a clean and flinty finish.
