Pouilly Fumé

TASTING NOTE 
The 2018 has an expressive nose with notes of lemongrass, green pepper and elderflower, complemented by tropical notes of mango, passion fruit and an underlying citrus frame. The palate is tangy and fresh with a lovely richness echoing the fruit flavours found on the nose – all balanced by minerality and verve. Very elegant with a long finish.
