Reviews
James Suckling 91
A fragrant Pouilly-Fuisse with stacks of ripe pear, white peach and lemon, also notes of fresh butter and oolong tea leaves. Lively and elegant on the medium-bodied palate. Appealing balance of restrained creaminess with bright acidity and just a hint of tannin. Moderately dry finish.
