Domaine de Maltaverne Pouilly Fumé L'Ammonite 2025 Description
The nose is pronounced with citrus, smoke and a herbaceous edge, revealing layers of white peach and flint with subtle notes of grapefruit zest.
The palate is rounded with lemon flesh and sharon fruit, underpinned by crisp acidity and subtle minerality that builds gradually across the mid-palate. A distinctive saline quality emerges, characteristic of the Loire terroir, adding complexity and depth.
The wine displays excellent structure with a long, persistent finish that balances fruity notes of green apple and white stone fruit against mineral-driven flavours of wet stone and chalk. A touch of herbaceous fennel lingers on the aftertaste, adding further intrigue and food-pairing versatility.
Goes with just about anything! Traditionally salmon, mussels or crab/lobster and chicken or veal, but also mushroom dishes, particularly an omelette.
