Joseph Drouhin Pouilly-Fuisse Chardonnay 2022 Rated 91WS

Wine Spectator Review
Rated 91
This is rich, with a tangy citrus edge to the apple, pear and lemon flavors. Lively acidity keeps this focused as it lingers on the finish, echoing lemon, apple and pastry notes. Shows excellent balance and length. Drink now through 2029.
