Fumé du Milieu Vieilles Vignes, Domaine Guy Baudin - 2025

750 mL
Item # 37041

A mouthwatering white wine, unoaked and hand harvested by this family-run domaine that has been around since the 17th century. Guy Baudin was a peer of Didier Dagueneau, but chooses not to barrel age this wine, allowing for optimal freshness and immediate drinkability. With tangy green apple notes, this is an especially good match for scallops, classic goat cheese and poultry dishes.

Staff Pick Notes

I say I don't like sauvignon blanc, but it's not really true. It's just that I don't like most sauvignon blanc because I know how ethereal the real thing can be. Everything great about sauvignon: an exciting nose of herb, grass, citrus, and the trademark minerality, all of those things rely on the right temperature and environment and growing and when that isn't there... sauvignon blanc is just not what I want.    This wine right here is textbook Pouilly-Fumé and I love it. A nose that isn't too loud but speaks of the land that produced it. Dry, tart, flavorful, and compelling, this wine is best drunk with a verdant mid-day meal under the sun.

More About This Wine

Loire

There’s a lot to remember when it comes to the Loire. Novices, take note: Cabernet Franc is a great alternative to Cabernet Sauvignon, Muscadet is unparalleled as a companion to shellfish, and Cour Cheverny is the best white wine appellation you’ve never heard of. As diverse as Loire wines are, one day soon you'll know your Melon de Bourgogne from your Romorantin.

Sauvignon Blanc

Few varietals have spawned as bizarre a list of descriptors as Sauvignon Blanc. Believe it or not, “cat pee” is in fact a complimentary tasting note, associated with some of the best bottlings. (It’s a somewhat odd way of pointing out herbaceousness in the wine.) Cat pee aside, Sauvignon Blanc (sometimes called "Fumé Blanc" in California) is a bit of a chameleon in terms of style, and quite utterly at the whim of the winemaker. Some are fermented in barrel, others in stainless steel. Some...
