100 % Sauvignon Blanc
Tasting notes
A striking organic Sauvignon Blanc with brilliant pale yellow colour and green reflections. The nose opens with lemon zest, grapefruit, white peach, and green apple, layered with white flowers, elderflower, and a distinctive flinty, smoky note. The palate is crisp and focused, combining vibrant acidity with a textured, almost creamy mid-palate. Citrus peel, stone fruit, and a refined mineral core lead to a long, refreshing finish marked by saline tension and precision.
More About The Winery
Domaine Jonathan Didier Pabiot is a family estate based in Pouilly-Fumé in the Loire Valley. Jonathan Pabiot took over the domaine in the mid-2000s and quickly shifted the vineyards to organic farming, followed later by biodynamic practices. His philosophy focuses on precision, vineyard health, and minimal intervention to fully express the identity of each terroir.
The estate is planted exclusively to Sauvignon Blanc across a mosaic of soils including flint, limestone, and clay. These varied terroirs give the wines their distinctive character, particularly the classic smoky, flinty minerality that defines top Pouilly-Fumé.
In the cellar, fermentations rely on native yeasts, with careful élevage designed to preserve freshness, purity, and tension. The resulting wines are known for their bright aromatics, clean structure, and mineral-driven finishes, positioning the domaine as one of the modern benchmark producers of the appellation.
The cuvée “Prélude” highlights the domaine’s vibrant and approachable style, offering immediate freshness while retaining the precision and terroir expression that define Jonathan Pabiot’s wines.
