Villebois Pouilly Fume 2015
About the wine
The fanciest kind of Sauvignon Blanc from the most famous Sauvignon Blanc region in France (most would say the world!)
- Sancerre is what you buy if you want to look fancy – Pouilly Fume is what you buy if you really are fancy, not to mention flush. On the French Sauvignon Blanc ladder, this is the top rung. Pure, mouthwatering luxury in a bottle...
- Joost only gets to make this wine when the vintage is really, really good. He assured us this was one of those years. And by jove, we agree!
- Seriously limited stock and ready for drinking right NOW. If you think too long about buying this, you'll miss out...
Best before
Enjoy now (but if you'd prefer, it will age very well for another 4 years).
Serving advice
Allow the wine to rest for at least 2 to 3 days after you get your shipment. Store it at a cool and stable temperature.
Food match
Delicious on its own, or as an apéritif! Goes very well with oysters/lobster/rich seafood dishes and goat cheeses like Crottin de Chavignol, Sainte Maure de Touraine & Valancey.
Contains sulphites
Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Joost de Villebois
Years Angel-funded: 2013-18
- Joost knows how to preserve the heritage of the Loire region while catering to new world consumers.
- He started out in the '90s, producing 2 barrels a year in an old farmhouse... now, with Villebois, he highlights all the best parts of French whites, 24/7. And he passed the Angel torch to his lead winemaker, Patrice Grasset- who makes the Loire Valley wines you love today!
- Winemaking's a real team effort, Joost says. He's so glad to have had you on part of his!
