Joseph Drouhin Pouilly-Fuisse 2002 (France)

iconicon Price - $15.99 Size - 750 mL- Old World vs. New World Wine Tasting held on Monday May 16, 2005 at the Powers Liquor Mart in Colorado Springs with Will Gillum, comparing representative varietals from Old and New World Styles. I posted some thoughts I had before the tasting, and thoughts I had after the tasting.

This wine made from chardonnay grapes has a light coloring with quick running legs. It has a citrusy nose. Flavors of minerals and light citrus fruit combine with nice acidity. Has a clean taste and is light bodied, with little or no hint of oak. Medium length clean finish. This would pair very easily with white meats as neither would be overpowering. Is a clean drinking sipping wine. For more information see Joseph Drouhin's website. Buy Joseph Drouhin 2003 Pouilly-Fuisse icon. Grade: B
