PINOT NOIR Sonoma Coast Darling Wines 2021
A blend from two different sites. 70% whole bunch, spontaneous fermentation. Aged for 11 months in just four neutral French barriques. Transparent crimson with some purple notes. Intense and intensely pure nose with hints of elderberry fruit. A little skinny on the mid palate. Clean and fresh though not that complex. Usefully low alcohol?
POUILLY FUISSÉ Madrigal Domaine Frantz Chagnoleau 2023
The 2023 Pouilly-Fuissé Madrigal is raised in used barrels with around 20% new oak. This has a wonderful bouquet with yellow plum, honeysuckle and light apricot blossom scents that gain vigour in the glass. The palate is fresh and vibrant, lightly spiced, a little more cohesive and concentrated than the Pastoral and more sustained on the finish. This has enormous potential and there is nary a Premier Cru berry in the blend!
