Tasting notes
Poussie Haut de la Poussie Sancerre is an exceptional expression of Loire Valley terroir. Brilliant and light yellow in the glass, it captivates with golden reflections and a lively, delicate swirl that hints at its elegant character. The bouquet is vibrant and expressive, offering aromas of lemongrass, grapefruit, gooseberry, and kumquat, delicately layered with notes of green pepper, gingerbread spice, and a touch of cocoa. On the palate, this dry white wine reveals a remarkably light and velvety texture, showcasing the finesse and purity typical of premium Sancerre. The finish is long and refreshing, leaving lingering impressions of pomelo and lime. Perfect for those who appreciate a crisp, bone-dry white with complexity and charm.
