2023 Domaine Tabordet Pouilly-Fume

From: Pouilly-Fume, Loire Valley, FranceVarietal: Sauvignon Blanc Taste: This classic Pouilly Fumé blends aromatic and flavor profiles, beginning with a characteristic flinty nose that elegantly reveals floral and zesty fruit scents. Notes of refreshing citrus and spicy undertones follow, from ripe grapefruit to slightly tropical notes like those emulated by calamansi and galangal. Zesty citrus and fruit lead the way on the palate, largely following its aromatic profile, especially highlighting this wine’s flinty minerality followed by calamansi, and galangal flavors. This leads the way to an elongated, mineral-textured finish. You’ll want another glass before you know it. Pairing: Seared scallops, crudo, ceviche, oysters with a mignonette, clams, baked trout, fried cod, grilled white fish, or lemon-herbed grilled chicken would all pair nicely with this bottle. A favorite pairing with Pouilly Fume during soup season is this Chicken and Rice Soup With Celery, Parsley, and Lemon by Ali S
