Pouilly-Fume comes from the opposite bank of the Loire from Sancerre, made with the same grape. This is all you would expect of a good quality French Sauvignon Blanc. It doesn't have the big boquet that you get from Marlborough SB, but is more restrained and elegant. It does have the high level of acid that you will always get with SB, and is a really lovely and interesting combination of flavours. A great aperitif drink, but would combine well with the usual fare - salads, seafood etc.
