Pur Sang Pouilly-Fumé Sauvignon Blanc
Pouilly-Fumé, Central Vineyards, Loire Valley, France
Clearly a Sauvignon Blanc, which isn’t always a positive note for me, but the 12’ Pur Sang radiated such energy and clarity that made it impossible to not fall in love with. Aromas of pineapple, lemon, gooseberry, and fragrant white florals intertwined with subtle vanilla. On the palate, a delicate fruit sweetness was perfectly counterbalanced by herbal nuances and piercing, superb acidity, along with a crystalline texture and mineral backbone. Wicked wine as it is now, but it could easily spend more time on its side.

Tasted blind. Light gold color. Exotic nose. Notes of citrus, grapefruit, tangerine, lemongrass, cut green apples and a little pineapple. Goes great with the cheese and snacks we have. I’m immediately in Sancerre world with my guess. Very mineral in it’s mouth feel, lots of acidity. I guess Cotat as the producer. This is a fun wine, and really well made.

Still think Pur Sang is my favorite in the Dagueneau line up for the precision and complexity that mingle with its touch of pliancy. The depth and intensity this wine has given its modest ripeness and SB structure blow my mind. So singular and full of character. Ripe grapefruit, buddah’s hand, ripe melons, asian pear, chervil, fresh sorrel, fresh peas, sea salt, crushed rocks, spring flowers.

Jul 21st, 2019Off the Crownshy NYC list, this was wonderfully fragrant with notes of citrus, green apples, limestone, and some mango. Great acidity matches a strong core of fruit. Young, needs time. Great food wine.
