Domaine Landrat Guyollot la Rambarde Pouilly Fume 2020/2021

This is a well established family domaine at `Les Berthiers` in the village of Pouilly sur Loire. The name "La Rambarde" refers to the flat bottomed boat used historically in the transport of wine to Paris via the Loire. The wine is elegant and well balanced with a light smoky aroma and a hint of gunflint and elderberry. It is wonderfully rich with aromas of nettles, gooseberry and minerals on the palate but balanced by good weight of lemony acidity and a full flinty finish. This dry white has layers of clean sauvignon blanc fruit combined with added complexity due to the minerality derived from these soils.

Ideal with fishes (salmon, grilled trout, white butter pike), crab salad, clam chowder, sushi, goat cheese… and even a panna cotta with passion fruit sauce.
