2023 Jonathan Pabiot Leon Pouillu-Fume

Léon (formerly known as Florilège) is the flagship Pouilly-Fumé from Domaine Jonathan Didier Pabiot, named after the winemaker's son. The first biodynamic-certified estate in the appellation, it is produced from mature Sauvignon Blanc vines averaging 30 years old, planted across three distinct terroirs: Kimmeridgian marl, chalky Portlandian limestone, and clay-silex on flint. The wine undergoes slow, cool native-yeast fermentation with minimal sulfur additions, followed by aging on the lees for 5-12 months in stainless steel and truncated-cone wooden vats. This approach yields an expressive, transparent expression of Pouilly-Fumé with remarkable mineral precision and textural depth.
