Jean Loren La Coronille Pouilly Fuisse 2022

Sadly, long gone are the days when this sort of money would buy you a bottle of Grand Cru Burgundy. That doesn’t mean you can’t drink well. 100% Chardonnay, of course, this wine shows just what terrific drinking some of the supposedly lesser appellations now offer. Under Diam. Gleaming yellow in colour, this is a slightly edgy style, which adds to its character. An intense wine with appealing notes of orange rind, spices, mangoes, almonds and gunflint. A supple texture, the wine lifts even further on the palate. There is an elegance here with good balance and medium to good length. It will provide thoroughly enjoyable drinking for the next five years.
