Regis Minet 2024 Pouilly Fume Vieilles Vignes, Loire Valley

I fell in love with the floral aroma immediately.  The flavor captivated me as well.  Medium weighted, brightly structured, and loaded with jazzy Loire Sauvignon Blanc goodness.  I just love this wine!

"Though the domaine still bears Régis’s name, Lucia Mineur-Billet, Régis’s stepdaughter, is in charge now. From sixteen different parcels representing the appellation’s diverse terroirs—Kimmeridgian marl, calcaires de Villiers, and terres blanches, to name but a few—Lucia crafts the archetypal Pouilly-Fumé. Kermit Lynch described Régis’s Pouilly-Fumé as having “class and exquisite harmony”; after I tasted Lucia’s recent vintages, my notes are filled with similar descriptions. The wine has a distinct elegance. The classic Sauvignon Blanc characteristics are present, but understated—floral notes, subtle citrus, a cool grassiness—and there’s a chalkiness so textural you can feel it as you taste. The overall impression is not of brash, over-the-top flavors, but of poise and refinement."—Dustin Soiseth, Kermit Lynch
