"The 2022 Pouilly-Fuiss, Pastoral comes from later ripening vines, four parcels, the more precocious parcels raised in demi-muids and the others in barrel. Another exquisite bouquet, wonderful delineation with citrus peel, pear and a touch of praline that blossoms in the glass. The palate is very well balanced, quite saline in the mouth, fine weight and density with hints of almond and a dab of coconut on the finish. This is utterly delicious and will be difficult to resist in its youth."

"An intense white, featuring lime blossom, citronella, apricot, mineral and baking spice aromas and flavors. Balanced and well-defined, extending with a fruit, spice and mineral aftertaste. Drink now through 2027. 500 cases made, 100 cases imported.—Bruce Sanderson"
