91+
Our Score
(6/2018) The "Calcite" cuvee from this top producer in Pouilly-Fume comes from Kimmeridgian soils (think Chablis) from vines with an average age of 24 years. This latest release drinks very fresh and clean. The wine is aged on the lees for six months offering a rich mouthfeel that is full of flavor. Bright and lively citrus notes are met with crunchy green apple, wild herbs, deep minerality and that whiff of flint and smoke classic to Pouilly-Fume. A fine choice to drink as an aperitif or to pair with fresh seafood or roast chicken.
