Pouilly-Fumé 2010, Jonathan & Didier Pabiot

€19.50

Pouilly-Fumé is one of those ubiquitous wines, available in every shop and restaurant, usually fine, but never likely to get you excited. Yet from the right source, it can be one of the great wines of France. I served this at dinner to a few friends in West Cork recently, and it silenced the room for a few minutes. Delicious balanced clean limpid subtle green fruits, perfectly balanced, long and dry, leaving you longing for another sip. In a sea of average wines, this stands out as exceptional. 17.5/20
