A subtle but not imperceptible dollop of wood surrounds the overtly floral and more citrus-inflected nose of mostly white orchard fruit. The racy, intense and beautifully well-detailed medium-bodied flavors exude a refreshing salinity on the balanced, clean, youthfully austere and attractively dry finale. Good stuff.

The 2018 Pouilly-Fuisse is a gorgeous example of the appellation. Sensual in feel, the 2018 opens up beautifully on the palate. Lemon confit, apricot and chamomile are some of the notes that infuse the 2018 with striking layers of both depth and complexity. This is a terrific entry-level offering.
