Domaine Tinel-Blondelet is a family-run winery in Loire Valley, France, located in the Pouilly-sur-Loire.
Arrêt-Buffatte is the name of a place located along the Roman road connecting Paris with Clermont-Ferrand. Long ago, travelers stopped here to rest and have a quick bite to eat.
Grape variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc.
Color: light yellow.
On the nose: aromas of green apple, apricot, and lemon zest combined with a hint of flint.
On the palate: a light-bodied, crisp wine with high acidity and a medium finish.
This is a classic Pouilly-Fumé: fresh, with a distinct hint of flint and excellent acidity.

Beautiful. Pouilly-Fumé was the kind of wine I that made me interested in wines.
Thanks, now my wish list is up to 17,625 wines!
Pouilly-Fumé is such a great region for that flinty/mineral style.
That smoky “gunflint” note is what always makes it stand out for me, especially when it’s got that crisp acidity alongside it.
How did you find the balance on this one, more citrus or more mineral?
