A new wine from Majestic, made using the Sauvignon Blanc grape. This wine comes from the Pouilly-Fumé appellation in the Loire Valley and is the 2023 vintage with an alcohol content of 12.5%.
The wine has a light golden hue and requires quite a bit of warmth to fully reveal itself. It is a gentle and elegant wine, not overtly bold but rather subtle and inviting. The aromatics are a pleasant blend of honeydew lemon and a hint of tropical fruits. It features a grassy taste with mineral undertones and a salty, saline finish. Interestingly, it is not as flinty as you might expect from a Pouilly-Fumé. It has a great round feel and is medium-bodied, handling warmth exceptionally well due to its roundness. This also makes it particularly suitable as a food wine. The mouthfeel and the structure of the wine make it an excellent companion for seafood, especially oysters or fresh goats cheese.
Priced at £17.99 per bottle when purchased as part of Majestic’s mix six, this wine is an great choice for those looking to enjoy a quality wine that complements a variety of dishes.
