Tasting notes
Léon 2023 is a striking expression of Pouilly-Fumé, revealing an alluring bouquet of ripe citrus, white peach, and delicate floral tones, underscored by a signature smoky, flinty minerality. On the palate, vibrant acidity meets a full-bodied texture, unfolding in layers of lemon zest, green apple, and a refined mineral core. The finish is long, refreshing, and precise. A compelling showcase of Sauvignon Blanc’s potential for both complexity and elegance, this wine reflects the meticulous care taken in both the vineyard and cellar.
About the winery
The estate has been created 6th generations ago by the Pabiot family. Jonathan Didier took over the domain in 2005. He successfully persuaded his father Didier to convert the family vineyard to organic viticulture. Today the domain is one of the three estates that follow biodynamic and natural practices in the appellation. With genuine respect for the environment, Jonathan doesn't push the vines to produce massively. This low-yield method, combined with biodynamic practices, allow the grapes to give the very best of it selves. The 19 hectares domain is located in Loges, Pouilly-sur-Loire in France.
The appellation Pouilly-Fume is mainly known for white wines that are floral and fruity. There, the terroir is an association of a semi-continental climate with millions of years of old soil. The ground is made up of Kimmeridgian marls, hard limestones and flint, giving a mineral, fine and bright aspect to the wine.
