Chateau Favray Pouilly Fume 'Cuvee Tonnerre' 2021
Style: White
Country: France
Brand: Chateau Favray
Region: Loire Valley
Grape Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Description: Cuvée Tonnerre 2021 from Château Favray is a distinguished and terroir‑driven expression of Pouilly‑Fumé, crafted from the estate’s Tonnerre parcel — one of the oldest and rarest limestone soils in the appellation. This unique calcareous site gives the wine a pronounced mineral backbone and exceptional structure, with a fresh yet layered profile that rewards some bottle age. In the glass it shows a pale gold colour. The nose offers refined citrus and white fruit aromatics with underlying mineral and flinty notes, while the palate expands with complex layers of gooseberry, grapefruit zest and chalky minerality. The wine’s elegant acidity and textured body lead into a long, nuanced finish that balances freshness and depth.
