Product details
The house of Domaine Lebrun, nestled in the Pouilly‑Fumé region of the Loire Valley, brings together terroir, tradition, and finesse in its acclaimed Cuvée Eugénie. Here, the famed Sauvignon Blanc grape is cultivated on flinty marl and clay soils, which lend the finished bottle its distinctive steely minerality and vibrant vibrancy. The 2020 vintage reflects the estate’s commitment to balance and precision: the fruit is picked at optimal maturity to capture bright acidity while still harnessing generous ripeness, enabling a great interplay of freshness and depth. This creation thus stands as a refined expression of its region, marrying vivid energy with elegant structure.
On the nose, expect an interplay of lively citrus zest — imagine grapefruit and lime peel — mingled with delicate floral touches and a hint of green orchard fruits. As it unfolds on the palate, ripe stone fruit and white‑peach notes merge seamlessly with firm mineral lines and a refreshing streak of acidity. A sleek mid‑palate gives way to a lingering finish that leaves behind a whisper of flint, a subtle herbaceous edge and crisp clarity. It pairs beautifully with simply prepared fish or light poultry, and reveals itself as both expressive and refined.
