2012 Pascal Jolivet Pouilly-Fume Les Terres Blanches
2012 Pascal Jolivet Les Terres Blanches Pouilly-Fume AOC Loire Valley France 9413%, 750 ml, $41.50
This vibrant, flavorful Pouilly-Fume (say "pwee foo may") from a 16-acre vineyard in Le Bouchet has notes of chive, spring onion, leek, thyme, asparagus, egg custard, lemon curd, ginger tea and white pepper. It is tingly and mellow at the same time, and has a long chalky finish.
