Bouchard Pere et Fils, Pouilly-Fuisse, Vignes Romanes

Lovely balance, sustained but not forced oak influence.

Any white Burgundy lover knows how good value Pouilly Fuisse can be, and Cordier typifies that value. Classic Southern white Burg with a classy use of oak that simply delivers. Nose - Saline, wet rocks, lemon rind, even a little petrol-esque edge. Slight tropical and toasted oak. Elegant and precise. Palate - Steely dry slate texture gives fantastic tension, high acid, zingy sour lemon curd, very gentle French oak hug. Finish - Subtle toasty vanilla, zingy refreshing and clean lemon …

Lemony green in colour. This is vivid and refreshing with a slightly creamy texture and pure mix of yellow apple and citrus fruit. Focused and in good overall harmony.
