Francis Blanchet produces Sauvignon Blancs from Pouilly-Fumé, the Upper Loire appellation renowned for mineral-driven whites of precision and age-worthiness. The winery's portfolio centers on expressions of terroir: Les Débuts Pouilly-Fumé, Pouilly-Fumé Silice, and Pouilly-Fumé Kriotine each capture the region's signature flintiness and aromatic intensity through distinct vineyard selections. Sauvignon Blanc from this corner of the Loire Valley is marked by high acidity, herbaceous notes, and a flinty minerality that reflects the Kimmeridgian limestone soils. The wines have been assessed by Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, and Wine Spectator.
