Wine name: Pouilly-Fume. Producer: Bouche, Chatellier SCEA, Saint-Andelain, 58150, Pouilly-sur-Loire. Vintage: 2006. Appearance pale yellow sauvignon blanc colour, thin yet smooth on the glass with grassy, quite intense and austere aromatics. The attack is green apples, hay. Evolution: Very Sauvignon Blanc. Quite concentrated flavour which fills the mouth with that nice eastern Loire bitterness with a finish which is peppery in the nose, quite bitter on the swallow. Sweetness: 0.5. Acidity: 2.5. Tannin: 0 with a texture which is thick and quite syrupy and the length is a little patchy. As for balance, if anything, this is a little too bitter, but still drinkable and interesting. It went quite well with sushi. The wine has a cork closure and is 12.5% abv. Overall, this wine is nice and has aged well. It’s lost its freshness, but this has been replaced with a nice richness which was interesting and unusual in this wine. My score is 83 points.
