Product Notes

Domaine Henri Bourgeois Pouilly Fume En Travertin is a crisp and refreshing white wine hailing from the Pouilly Fume region of the Loire Valley in France. This particular wine is made exclusively from Sauvignon Blanc grapes, which undergo a careful vinification process to create a wine that is both complex and elegant. The nose presents a delightful aromatic bouquet of citrus, herbs, and minerals, while the palate features a fresh and lively acidity with notes of lemon, grapefruit, and melon. This wine is a perfect pairing for seafood dishes, especially those featuring oysters or scallops, and is best enjoyed during the warm summer months.
