Francis Blanchet
Francis Blanchet 'Calcite' Pouilly-Fumé 2021, Loire, France
£12
A typical Pouilly Fumé taste sensation, though arguably slightly less complex and slightly lighter on the palate. Well-balanced overall, with scent of apricot and citrus leading to a dry and acidic - but not overpowering - taste. Medium finish that offers refreshing hints of grapefruit, passion fruit and green apples.
