Antoine Gouffier is a no-nonsense straight-shooter of a winemaker who has a small domaine established in 2021. He has the accolades (best young winemaker in France circa 2020) and the name drops (he worked with Michel Rolland in South America in the late 20-teens). He's travelled the globe making Sauvignon Blanc, but he came home to Pouilly Fume to make what we suspect is the best Sauvignon Blanc this side of Daguenau. Hand-farmed, low yield, carefully vinified grapes of sky high quality.

Drawn from a rockier slope, this Sauvignon Blanc is the one with the pepper and the pizazz. There’s pear and lime and kiwi and white pepper notes all over the nose. The palate is crackling with acidity and citrus zest, with lees stirring to give it a creamy note to absorb the intense acidity. 13%abv
