Stephen Tanzer

(from parcels in Fuissé; 50% aged in barrels of two to five years of age): Pale, bright yellow. Inviting scents of orange zest, lemon and spices. The palate offers an attractive amalgam of juicy acidity and slightly exotic citrus zest character. Doesn`t show the personality of the estate`s top bottlings but nicely done. The lightly saline finish shows a light touch. Incidentally, Braccini told me that her 2016s typically have 4.2 or 4.3 grams per liter of acidity, `about the same as the 2015s.` 87-89 points

The 2016 Pouilly-Fuissé offers up aromas of pastry cream and ripe citrus fruits, framed by subtle reduction. On the palate, it`s medium-bodied, satiny and tangy. It isn`t as pure and defined as the superb 2015 rendition, but it`s a very creditable introductory cuvée from Domaine Ferret. 88 points
