2023
The 2023 Pouilly-Fumé 'M' opens with crisp aromas of lime zest, green apple, and white flowers, underscored by flint nuances. The palate is bright and elegant, balancing citrus and floral notes with a chalky backbone and a touch of saline complexity. Clean, precise, and refreshing, this wine finishes with a lingering minerality that eloquently reflects its terroir.
