Francis Blanchet
Cuvée Silice Pouilly-Fumé Sauvignon Blanc
Super green for the vintage. Lacking concentration. I thought it might be Quincy or a cheap Sauvignon from Gascony.

Jun 19th, 2016Great summer sipper. Light, a little spicy, grassy, minerals, what's not to like? Nice with a zesty salad.

Jun 15th, 2016Nicely aromatic-- rose florals and lemon citrus. Viscous mouthfeel. Classic flint comes out with a little air.

Nov 4th, 2015Nose- bright green pear,sour and earthy notes, slight floral, citrus, light sweet corn showing a bit of body. No funny or unpleasant smells. Taste- Citrus, little tart, not very aggressive on mineral or bitterness. No taste of sweetness. Crisp and refreshing. Light and pleasant. Finish lingers for a while and then the bitterness comes in. Wonderful bright crisp and mouth watering wine. Great served chilled.
