Now the whole terroir concept is interesting, but sniffing rocks is weird. But Blanchet insisted—and right there we got a good whiff of what makes \"Cuvée Silice\" so firecracker-fresh.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Verdana\" style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eThe unmistakable smell of an exploding cap gun, memories of childhood Fourth of July fun. These rocks, and the \"Silice\" vineyard, are 100% flintstone. The smoky energy in every one of these rocks is absorbed by each, perfect Sauvignon Blanc grape. It's what puts the smoke in \"Fumé\" and the bracing, enervating minerality in classic Sauvignon Blanc from this excellent estate. For more than a decade we’ve been lucky enough to sample Blanchet's crystalline Sauvignon Blanc and have been knocked off our feet each time. Here is a white wine with both bite and body, sweet white fruit wrapped in a refreshingly light, citrus lining. Exactly what Pouilly-Fumé is supposed to be—balanced, fresh and fruity, and at its heart a stony, flint-inspired soul.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dionysos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36829292429465,"sku":"57238","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0149\/9247\/4212\/files\/w4KmnTNGTZODKhnnIaHYtw_pb_x960_c546f7bb-7cb7-4c5f-9413-c6fe935da04b.png?v=1775336843","url":"https:\/\/arrowine.com\/products\/blanchet-pouilly-fume-vieilles-vignes-2024","provider":"Arrowine \u0026 Cheese","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
