Pouilly-Fuisse is rarely going to be bad. That being said, this was far from my favorite bottle; I’ve had better French Chardonnay for half the price. I found this to be out of balance, over oaked, and slightly too acidic and almost bitter on the finish. You can do much better for the price.

We first encountered this wine at one of our favorite Italian restaurants and loved it. Since then, we’ve bought a few bottles for home enjoyment and gotten several family members hooked as well. 100% Sangiovese, this is a young, light, and fruity expression. Much better, in my opinion, than similarly priced Chianti Classicos. Just enough tannin, nice integrated acidity, really just a smooth, pleasurable Italian red.

Somewhat unusually, I didn’t get a strong sense of nose on this wine, even trying in 2 different types of glasses. That said, it didn’t detract from the taste, which was delightful. Nice citrus flavor, but think more orange and grapefruit rather than lemon. Medium body with a nice toasty finish without being too bready. Finish was long with good intensity, making for a memorable overall experience.
