2021 Pouilly-Fumé, Domaine Lebrun, Loire, France

Typical of the flinty clay terroirs the wines are long with good density. Expressive, with citrusy and smokiness when they are young, they become rounder and more complex with ageing. 

Laurent Lebrun was trained as a winemaker at Montpellier, spent his formative years training in Australia and then returned to France to take up the position of General Manager and Head Winemaker at Château Olivier, Grand Cru Classé in Bordeaux. He has recently taken over the running of his family estate in Pouilly-Fumé which makes classic, flinty wines from 9 hectares of vines on the slopes of St. Andelain.
