Pouligny-Saint-Pierre.
A geometric tower of delicate goat cheese that melts into silken softness on your tongue, releasing waves of bright tang balanced by subtle floral notes—like biting into fresh meadow grass kissed with chamomile. The natural rind offers a whisper of minerality before giving way to the creamy, lactic heart that tastes distinctly of the Loire Valley's limestone terroir.
