Drinking Window: 2019 - 2020
The chalky soils and Kimmeridgian marl of the Pouilly-Fumé appellation are known for producing elegant Sauvignon Blancs with typically a flinty and grassy note. You certainly get that here, with citrus freshness. Five months on the lees in stainless steel before bottling gives it a texture and weight that make it supremely food-friendly. One of Waitrose's Ten at £10, this is on offer at £10 between 4 and 17 December.
