2018 Château Siaurac

I am not a Merlot fan, but this 80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc blend pushes all the right buttons. Fragrant nose with plenty of oak. In this case, the oak complements but doesn't overwhelm the wine, like a food dish that is accented properly by herbs and spices. Still young yet quite attractive now. An excellent value for a wine with the name "Pomerol" in it.

2021 Pascal & Mireille Renaud Pouilly-Fuissé Premier Cru Les Ménétrières

Intriguing Pouilly-Fuissé. Deeply gold in color for the AOP. Very much the product of the production choices as what the vineyard offers. In many ways a Meursault. Fruit is light but complexity is long. Definitely needs time to integrate. A tasty conundrum. Wait a few years to try it again.

2021 Pascal & Mireille Renaud Pouilly-Fuissé Premier Cru Aux Bouthières

Light golden. Somewhat closed nose but shows Chardonnay fruit with just the right touch of oak. Good acidity in the entry with refined, still undeveloped flavors — almost like a young ballerina. Lots of length. A 91 now, but this wine has several years to go before it reaches its full potential. Graceful and lovely!
