It comes from the AOC Pouilly-Fumé, a name that combines “Pouilly,” the village, with “fumé,” smoky in French, due to the character given by its soils with a high content of flint, which is reminiscent of smoke or flint.

It has a dry profile, with a pale yellow color and green reflections, with notes of grapefruit, lemon, white pineapple, peach, and mango, a smoky and mineral touch, and a lively acidity that makes it very refreshing.
