2018 Hospices de Beaune, Pouilly-Fuisse Cuvee Francoise Poisard

The colour has not fallen clear yet as the very last sugar finishes fermenting. The rich full bouquet is evocative of the sunny south. Some citrus notes support the undoubted flesh of this wine, complemented also by some toasty barrel notes – but not excessive given the wood regime (one year old 456 litre barrels). There is fine elegant finish with an excellent fruit-acid balance.
