This book tells the wonderful story of a vineyard that
has existed since the Gallo-Roman era, was developed by the
Benedictine monks and came into its own in the 19th century.
Here in the district of Pouilly, on the banks of the Loire River
the loveliest Sauvignon Blanc wines are born. The wine is also
known as "Blanc Fumé", a name that resonates with any lover
of great terroir wines. Where does the name come from?
Because it 'fumes' at harvest time when noble rot occurs?
Because of the inimitable taste of gunflint when one smells and
tastes it? Both these reasons are probably valid!
