What is this wine?
Domaine de la Croisée’s Pouilly-Fumé “Eden” 2022 is a finely etched Sauvignon Blanc from the limestone and flint soils of Pouilly-sur-Loire. The domaine, led by young vigneron Pauline Mourrain and Mathieu Teillet, farms organically and vinifies with minimal intervention to highlight the purity of terroir. Eden is sourced from older vines and fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel, then aged on fine lees for several months to build texture while preserving the wine’s signature precision and minerality.
Why get this wine?
Eden represents a new generation of Pouilly-Fumé—authentic, artisanal, and terroir-driven. The 2022 vintage delivers exceptional clarity and balance, combining ripe citrus fruit with the smoky, flinty character that defines great Sauvignon from this appellation. It’s an elegant, refined white that competes easily with top Sancerre at a compelling value.
What does this wine taste like?
Bright and aromatic, with notes of grapefruit, lime zest, and white peach over a core of wet stone and flint. The palate is crisp and layered, showing vibrant acidity, silky texture, and a long, mineral finish.
When should you drink this wine?
Drink now through 2030. Serve well-chilled. Excellent with shellfish, goat cheese, or vegetable dishes.
