Patrice Moreux Corty Artisan Caillottes Pouilly-Fumé 2020

Always a favourite in the line-up, this is warm fruited but smooth and structured at the same time – tangy and juicy with lemon citrus and white fruits, also a hint of herbaceous pepper, but also deeply mineral, smoky, nervy and steely. A wonderful harmony and balance, and a long ageing potential. This is a serious wine, which cries out for shellfish or smoked fish to pair with. Drinking window: 2022-2027. Part of Domaine Moreux-Corty: Pouilly-Fumé purists plus the 2019s and 2020s tasted. Score – 93. (Amy Wislocki, decanter.com, March 14, 2021)
