Les Fumées Blanches Sauvignon Blanc
Description
Discover Les Fumées Blanches Sauvignon Blanc, the most renowned creation of oenologist François Lurton, crafted in the southwest of France. Its name — “The White Mists” — refers to the gentle morning fogs that cover the vineyards, giving this wine its characteristic freshness and vibrancy.
Made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, it embodies the essence of French savoir-faire: a fresh, aromatic wine with pronounced minerality. Its low-temperature fermentation and subsequent aging on fine lees provide volume, balance, and a enveloping texture.
Awarded at international competitions such as the Concours Mondial du Sauvignon and Mundus Vini, Les Fumées Blanches stands out for its elegance, consistency and outstanding value for money, establishing itself as one of the most highly regarded French white wines worldwide.
Winery
François Lurton, heir to one of the most prestigious wine families in France, founded his own winery in the 1980s with the aim of creating authentic wines that precisely reflect the character of their origin. In Gascony, his signature terroir — Atlantic breezes, limestone soils, and the slow ripening of Sauvignon Blanc — provides an ideal environment for producing wines with great aromatic freshness and varietal purity.
Each stage of the process is carried out with care: night harvesting, gentle pressing, temperature-controlled fermentation and aging on fine lees, all with the goal of preserving the wine’s expressiveness and natural elegance. The result is a true oenological gem, balanced, refined and with an unmistakable style.
