$28, 3 stars, 90 points, burgundy, chardonnay, pouilly-fuise
This French appellation has always appealed to me for it’s softer flavors and more rounded mouthfeel. I enjoy steely Chardonnays, mineral edged ones, buttery versions and even over-oaked Cali offerings, yet Pouilly-Fuise is consistently the one style that both Moxie and I enjoy the most. The pale golden color was a good introduction. Pears, apples and green melon on the nose gave an inkling of what lay ahead. A smooth entry with tart yellow apples, citrus, flint, butterscotch and a touch of clove were really confusing my overloaded palate. I wasn’t expecting such a myriad of flavors! A long finish with balance made me really like this wine, 90 points. Turkey, oysters and salmon would pair perfectly with it. $28 and 4 stars for this Burgundian beauty. Salut….
