The balanced Clos de Criots Pouilly Fumé from France is a single varietal wine, pressed from the Sauvignon Blanc grape variety. The grapes grow in optimal conditions in the Val de Loire. The vines here dig their roots deep into soils of limestone and marl. After the grape harvest, the grapes are immediately taken to the press house. Here they are selected and carefully broken up. Fermentation follows in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by aging on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally bottled.
