Introduction:
A deeply expressive Sauvignon Blanc from the esteemed Pouilly-Fumé appellation, the 2022 Domaine Tinel‑Blondelet “L’Arret Buffatte” Pouilly‑Fumé delivers an elegant yet intense profile—crisp, mineral-laced, and beautifully nuanced.

Terroir:
Planted on flinty, limestone-rich slopes overlooking the Loire River, the vineyard benefits from cool continental influence with diurnal shifts. This terroir gives the wine its signature smoky mineral streak (“fumé”) and vibrant acidity.

Appearance:
Pale straw with gentle green reflections, bright and crystalline in the glass.

Nose:
Penetrating aromas of grapefruit, lime zest, and white peach are joined by distinctive gunflint and crushed wet stone, layered with subtle notes of elderflower, chalk dust, and fresh-cut grass.

Palate:
Medium-bodied and seamlessly balanced, with a taut frame and lively acidity. Flavors of citrus fruit—lemon, lime, and grapefruit—are intertwined with orchard fruit and pronounced mineral intensity. The “flinty” character remains a defining thread.

Finish:
Long, dry, and cleansing—fresh citrus persists alongside precise mineral and flinty echoes, with a herbal-lime lift that lingers.

Overall Impression:
A classic expression of Pouilly‑Fumé: refined, racy, and mineral-driven. Ideal alongside oysters, sushi, goat cheese, or simply as a bright, contemplative aperitif. Enjoy now through 2028 to appreciate its flair and poise.
