Really enjoyed this wine. Nice golden straw color. Nose a little earthy. Good acidity, full bodied, nice texture and long finish of caramel and apples.

(Dominique Cornin Pouilly-Fuissé Clos Reyssié, Burgundy) Although Cornin’s white wines all show finesse and precision, his 2007 Clos Reyssié is a true triumph in demonstrating the potential of Pouilly-Fuissé. The vineyard is more than 70 years old, planted by Cornin’s father just as the dark period of World War II was beginning. Biodynamic farming of the complex clay soils yields the region’s finest Chardonnay—pure, rich, healthy fruit. Cornin is judicious with wood; many of his wines see none, but the Clos Reyssié has the flesh and the flavor to integrate with the effects of barrel fermentation and 11 months of oak aging. This is an intensely flavored, pure, mineral-driven, fine wine. Hot Picks

Vanguard (Columbus, OH): Foxy nose. Good acid. Elegant. Foxy, but not a big problem.
