Patrice Moreux Corty Artisan Terrasses Pouilly-Fumé 2022

Striking nose of beautifully ripe pear and melon for the sauvignon blanc grape with the only vegetal element being a hint of spring meadows. On the medium-bodied palate this is succulent and creamy, but not a jot opulent, much less heavy with a silky acidity that caresses your palate at the very long clean finish. Drink or hold. Score – 93. (Stuart Pigott, jamessuckling.com, Oct. 22, 2023)
