Jean-Paul Paquet, Domaine les Vieux Murs, Pouilly-Fuisse
An open bouquet, fruity wine. Fairly enticing, with hints of vanilla. Dominant on the palate, revealing the mineral origins of its terroir. Unctuous and nicely rounded. Generally nicely structured. A rich, savoury wine. Can be enjoyed as an aperitif, it will pair perfectly with seafood, sweetbreads and white meat in cream sauce. Also great with foe gras, langoustine, perch and monkfish. Try with poularde de Bresse à la crème.
Serving between 10 and 12 degrees. Great now, but truly great in 3 to 5 years.
