Pouilly-Fumé Présage Clair de Brumes Organic 2023 75 cl: all the finesse of the Saget family’s terroirs

The Saget family, who have been based in Pouilly-sur-Loire for several generations, celebrate their historic roots through the Clair de Brumes estate. The 2023 ‘Présage’ Organic cuvée offers a true introduction to the house’s style, blending several terroirs characteristic of the Pouilly-Fumé appellation. The grapes are harvested at perfect ripeness, followed by gentle pressing, fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats and eight months’ ageing on fine lees to preserve the full purity of the Sauvignon Blanc.

Its pale gold colour with green highlights heralds a particularly elegant nose dominated by aromas of flint, grapefruit, fresh asparagus, lime and white flowers. With aeration, notes of blackcurrant bud, flint and a delicate minerality typical of great Pouilly-Fumé wines emerge.

On the palate, the attack is lively and precise. The body offers lovely fullness, supported by remarkable tension. Flavours of citrus, white fruit and exotic fruit develop into a lingering finish characterised by superb briny freshness and smoky notes typical of the Loire terroirs. Ageing on fine lees lends a lovely roundness whilst preserving the natural vigour of the Sauvignon Blanc.

Served between 10 and 12 °C, this Pouilly-Fumé is the perfect accompaniment to oysters, scallops, grilled prawns, fish in sauce, lamb curry or goat’s cheeses such as Crottin de Chavignol.
