"The 2014 Pouilly-Vinzelles from Maison Joseph Drouhin is an outstanding example of this fine vintage, delivering a complex and vibrant bouquet of apple, tangerine, a touch of passion fruit, musky floral tones, chalky soil and just a whisper of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, fullish and intensely flavored, with a fine core, excellent focus and grip, bright acids and lovely balance on the long, zesty and complex finish. Pouilly-Vinzelles can often be a bit more mineral in personality than Pouilly-Fuissé and this seems to be the case with this excellent example from Maison Drouhin."
