Les Vignes de Berge Les Loges Pouilly-Fumé Sauvignon Blanc
These wines need a lot of air. They are intensely mineral and structured wines. Les Loges is a unique place that makes unique wines. Lime, lime leaf, chlorine, mint, bay leaf, hickory switch (shout out to my redneck people who got their asses whooped with hickory switches), and wet rock. I usually hate Sauvignon Blanc. This is emotive for me.

Jan 19th, 2021On a menu as a random “poule fume” [sic], but when I see a “Rosenthal” import, I buy. Super shut down when opened, so corked it up and took it home. Needed a full day to open up. On the nose, seaweed, grapefruit, minerals. In the mouth, saline, grapefruit rind, wet rock. High acidity. Moderately high alcohol. Medium-long finish. Good but may need a few years to come together.

Dec 28th, 2019Love! Fruity nose with hints of salty sea water and minerals. Tangy acidity with ripe pineapple, wet stone and light tropical fruit notes. There is a light smokiness and a salty/hint of slate on the long finish.

Feb 28th, 2018Once it airs out a little, it's like getting a mouthful of lime dusted rocks. Complex while still very, very drinkable and food friendly.

Oct 8th, 2017A study in minerals and acidity: gravel and limestone wetted with seawater dominates hints of lime zest, backyard pool, and smoke. Equivalent nose and pallet. Nice lurking mouthfeel. Enjoyable solo, yet made friends with angry burritos. Enjoy!
