2014 Pouilly Fuisse La Croix

As good as the Les Pommards is this is clearly at another level altogether with its elegant nose of mineral reduction, pear, apple and lemon rind scents. The cool, pure and sleek middle weight flavors exude a fine bead of minerality on the extract-rich medium-bodied flavors that coat the palate on the refined, focused, linear and impeccably well-balanced finale. This is terrific and I very much like the chiseled quality of the backend.
