Les héritiers renaud, pouilly fuissé 2020
Wine 5 of my birthday blind tasting. The richness of the nose and the somewhat low acid palate threw me in the wrong direction. I called white saint joseph 🤷‍♂️.
There is pear, pineapple, lemon and tangerine on the nose, along with some chalky notes. It's not textbook. The palate is rich and broad, with pear, white peach and lemony notes. It’s almost sweet. There is a bit of phenolic grip in the rear, and a nice finish that ends up with a bit of bitter note. It’s actually quite nice and I must confess that I have been overlooking southern Burgundy whites largely over the past few years and I will need to remedy that.
