  Light straw color. The nose is enticing with baked orchard fruit and a sweet marzipan bouquet. Some indistinct florals as well. All of that translates over to the palate which give a mineral-driving medium body and acidity. The oak is overdone here and it is buttery in a CA style. The wine is actually somewhat grippy, as if you were drinking a red, and I doubt there's any RS but it sure feels like it. Maybe lay this down and hope the oak settles and integrates? This was enjoyable overall, but at $40/bottle (on sale too), I will not be revisiting. Poor QPR in my opinion.

  Trouillet's 2020 Pouilly-Fuissé Premier Cru Pouilly was sourced from 80+ year-old vines and aged for approximately six months in French oak barriques (50% new). This particular bottle was uncorked, poured and serially tasted over a three-hour period. Fully opening after the first hour, it unfurls a bouquet of lime zest, pit fruits, jasmine, mint and wet stones. Medium-bodied, crisply acidic, proportionately oaked and without any heat from its 13.5% alcohol, it delivers flavors in line with the aromas, adding a dollop of wildflower honey on the dense mid-palate. Lengthy and energetic on the back end, this is a white Burgundy that performs well above its pay grade. It should be at its best over the next five years. Drink now-2028.
