About

Didier Pabiot Pouilly-Fumé "Léon" 2023 is an exceptional dry white wine, produced entirely from Sauvignon Blanc grapes, sourced from the esteemed Pouilly-Fumé appellation in the Loire Valley, France. This wine, named "Léon" in honor of a family ancestor, reflects Didier Pabiot's dedication to organic and biodynamic viticulture, capturing the vibrant intensity and mineral complexity that are the hallmarks of the region's Sauvignon Blanc. The 2021 vintage is particularly notable for its balance, aromatic purity, and the way it mirrors the limestone and flint soils of Pouilly-Fumé, offering a wine that is both expressive and deeply tied to its terroir.

Producer

Jonathan Didier Pabiot domain of twenty hectares is based in the small village of Les Loges. The vines are planted on different types of soil, mainly limestone, limestone rocks, and shell limestone (kimmeridgian marl). These exceptional terroirs are the base of the minerality in their wines. Being close to the Loire Jonathan Didier Pabiot wines grow in a special microclimate that is unique to our area.

Tasting notes

“Léon” 2023 reveals a captivating array of aromas, from ripe citrus fruits and white peach to floral notes and a distinctive smoky, flinty quality that is characteristic of Pouilly-Fumé. The palate is greeted with a lively acidity and a full-bodied texture, showcasing layers of lemon zest, green apple, and a mineral-driven finish that is both long and refreshing. This Pouilly-Fumé is a testament to the varietal’s potential for complexity and elegance, embodying the finesse and depth achievable through meticulous vineyard management and winemaking.

Pairing

Pairing Didier Pabiot’s Pouilly-Fumé “Léon” with fresh seafood dishes, such as oysters or a delicate sole meunière, can highlight the wine’s crisp acidity and mineral undertones, creating a harmonious dining experience. It also pairs exceptionally well with goat cheese, where the creamy texture and tangy flavors of the cheese complement the wine’s vibrant fruit and smoky nuances. These food pairings not only enhance the flavors of the wine but also showcase its versatility in complementing a wide range of culinary styles.
