Marc Deschamps Les Porcheronnes Pouilly Fumé 2017
Pouilly-Fume, Upper Loire, Loire, FranceNervous and tight smoked stone opens this youthful, sprightly Pouilly Fumé, one lined with a cushion of lees to offset the strident acidity. Medicinal lemon, tangerine, Bosc pear stream along the narrow palate, fringed with smoke and crushed rock. This cuvée is a blend of wine from numerous clay and limestone hilltops of Les Loges, specifically La Cote and Les Griottes, both averaging 20 years in vine age. Super drinkable now in youth, and will mature into something profound with time.Tasted: 22 January 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $27.95 | 750ml | consignment |
