Domaine Sangouard-Guyot
Quintessence Pouilly Fuissé Chardonnay



This is a really nice Pouilly-Fuisse, an AOC I generally think is overvalued. Bright nose has limestone minerality, bright apple and pear fruit, wet straw, and the barest hint of barrel spice. Lower-toned on the palate than the nose suggests, it’s relaxed and deeply-flavored, lots of fruit and crushed rock minerality. Medium acids. Nice balance and depth.

Lemon curd, white peach, gardenias, sea shells, vanilla bean. Lively rounded acidity, medium bodied, juicy-creamy texture, complex citrus-nutty-floral-salty finish. Aromatic, beautifully balanced, well integrated oak that doesn’t disrupt the persistent limestone mineral note in the nose or palate. Well exceeds its price point.

Wow! Amazing wine. Very complex. Lemon, white peach, white flowers, chalk, mineral, stems, mint. Killer value.

Meyer lemon, custard, vanilla bean, butterscotch, ground cardamom, gardenias, honeysuckle. Rounded acidity, soft silky texture, medium bodied, creamy slightly citrus peel-floral finish. Well integrated oak, balanced, textbook Pouilly-Fuissé.
