Domaine de Bel Air Pouilly Fumé Cuvée Riquette 2024

Domaine de Bel Air Pouilly Fumé Cuvée Riquette 2023 is a standout white wine from one of Pouilly-Fumé’s top parcels, made from old-vine Sauvignon Blanc selected for depth and character. Defined by its flinty, mineral edge and expressive style even in youth, it captures the classic Loire profile with extra concentration and finesse.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a bright, polished character with a vibrant aromatic profile. The nose opens with ripe citrus, white peach, and gooseberry, layered with the appellation’s signature smoky, flinty notes and a subtle spicy nuance. The palate is fuller and more structured than the domaine’s classic cuvée, combining generous fruit concentration with a creamy texture and an elegant, refreshing acidity. The finish is long, mineral-driven, and refined, with enough structure to suggest very good aging potential over the next few years.

Production
The wine comes from selected old-vine Sauvignon Blanc parcels planted on limestone and flint soils, a terroir that gives Pouilly-Fumé its distinctive mineral tension and smoky complexity. Careful parcel selection helps preserve the depth and precision of the fruit, while the vinification is aimed at highlighting purity, texture, and the natural aromatic intensity of the grape.

Food & Serving
Ideal with oysters, scallops, grilled white fish, shellfish, goat cheese, or poultry in light cream sauces. Serve well chilled, around 8-10°C, to show its freshness and aromatics. Decanting is not necessary, but a short opening in the glass can help reveal its full range of mineral and smoky nuances.
