Villebois Pouilly Fume 2013
Villebois Pouilly Fume 2013
About the wine
Smokey, gun flint classic
- Sancerre is what you buy if you want to look fancy. Pouilly Fume is what you buy if you really are fancy, not to mention flush. Top of the French Sauvignon Blanc ladder, this is pure, mouth-watering luxury in a bottle.
- Joost only gets to make this wine when the vintage is really, really good. He assured us this was one of those years. And by jove we agree!
- Seriously limited stock and ready for drinking right NOW. If you think too long about buying this, you might miss out...

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Joost de Villebois
Years Angel-funded: 2013-18
- Joost knows how to preserve the heritage of the Loire region while catering to new world consumers.
- He started out in the '90s, producing 2 barrels a year in an old farmhouse... now, with Villebois, he highlights all the best parts of French whites, 24/7. And he passed the Angel torch to his lead winemaker, Patrice Grasset- who makes the Loire Valley wines you love today!
- Winemaking's a real team effort, Joost says. He's so glad to have had you on part of his!
