Domaine Paul Corneau Pouilly Fume 2024
Domaine Paul Corneau is a family estate in Pouilly-sur-Loire, one of the Loire Valley's most celebrated appellations for Sauvignon Blanc. The wines are made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc grown on the region's distinctive flint and limestone soils — the source of the smoky, mineral character that defines great Pouilly Fumé.
