Pouilly Fumé “Les Duchesses”, Laporte 2007
Loire Valley, France
17.50€
Pale lemon colour with a fresh grassy and vivacious nose. Classic citrus and gooseberry flavours overlaid with white grapefruit and lime cordial. Exquisite chalk and citrus palate slides into an elegant sherbet finish with a smattering of pineapple tops. Good and long with a bit of a smart sassy feel – a good head and shoulders above your average Pouilly Fumé or Sancerre.
Drink with: Serve chilled as an aperitif; Seafood Salad; Fruits de Mer; Thai food (not too sweet ‘n’ sour); Asparagus; Trout (Smoked, Baked or Pan-fried); Avocado.
