The wine's story:
Magma is Domaine de la Croisée's core wine, the idea of which is not to isolate a single small parcel but to bring together the domaine's main terroirs. The wine is born in the Pouilly-Fumé appellation, in the central Loire, where Sauvignon Blanc is associated above all with limestone, flint and Kimmeridgian soils.
The producer describes Magma as a fusion of three main sites: Kimmeridgian marl, clay-limestone and flinty sands. This gives the wine citrus purity, mineral tension and a slightly smoky, stony character all at once – just what is often sought in Pouilly-Fumé.
Winemaking:
- Grape: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
- Appellation: AOC Pouilly-Fumé
- Soil: Kimmeridgian marl, clay-limestone, flinty sands
- Fermentation: with wild yeasts, based on the producer’s general philosophy
Tasting notes:
The style is dry, taut and mineral, with the Sauvignon Blanc heading not towards tropical fruit but rather towards lime, green apple, lemon peel, white flowers, wet stone and a light smoky-mineral nuance. The name Magma suits the wine well: it does not mean heaviness, but a stony, tensile, energy-carrying expression.
