Domaine Moreux-Corty, Corty Artisan Caillottes, Pouilly-Fumé, Loire, France 2021

A pretty, delicate expression of Pouilly-Fumé that shows white blossom, lemon curd and lemon zest aromas. It’s a refined example of its style, expertly weaving together purity of fruit – lemon oil, lemon balm, verbena – with mineral intensity. The finish is taut and pithy, reminding me of just-ripe peaches, warm stones and bitter grapefruit zest.
