Domaine Masson-Blondelet, Les Pierres de Pierre 2023 – Pouilly-Fumé

The wine has a pale lemon yellow color with green reflections. The nose offers liveliness, a tangy framework of citrus and herbs, as well as a racy minerality. It expresses notes of grapefruit, lemon zest, lemon juice, as well as passion fruit, crushed passion fruit seeds, gooseberries, tangy apricot and green apple. After aeration, the wine expresses notes of limestone rock, a touch of iodine and smoke (flint), as well as a floral hint of apple blossom and elderflower. The palate is fruity, gourmand and offers the roundness and juiciness of white peach and apricot on the attack. Then, we find the flavors of ripe green apple, passion fruit, gooseberries, lemon and grapefruit. The finish is straight, tangy and mineral, with flavors of fresh citrus, citrus jam, limestone, smoke and acacia in the background. Good grapefruit acidity with persistence, a salivating and pleasant acidity.
