clear honey and freshly baked bread
because it implies an inferior product to a cru
Aromas of impeccably ripe cassis
with a lot of potential for a long time
The clinging finish features fine-grained tannins and repeating floral and licorice notes
Marc Deschamps Pouilly-Fume Les Porcheronnes, Loire, France 2022 Saintayme clear honey and freshly bakedFrom numerous clay and limestone hilltops in Les Loges, specifically La Cote and Les Griottes, these Sauvignon Blanc vines average 20 years in vine age, and were fermented and aged in tank, on lees. Bright and brisk with lemon verbena, prickly pear, tangerine, guava and white grapefruit, this buzzes along a fuller palate, finishing with a raft of broken stones. Quite a potent wine, primed for drinking now.
