Maison Foucher, Les Lumeaux 2023 – Blanc Fumé de Pouilly

(organic) The wine has a pale lemon yellow color with slight green reflections. The first nose expresses the distinct mineral aromas of smokiness of flint, limestone, a fragrant and slightly sweet floral bouquet (apple blossom, honeysuckle, acacia), associated with notes of ripe citrus fruits (lemon, grapefruit), white peach and green apple. The attack on the palate is mineral, limestone and slightly smoky (flint). In the mid-palate, we find the flavors of ripe citrus fruits (yellow lemon, lime, the bitterness of grapefruit), notes of green apple and green pear, as well as white flowers (apple blossom, acacia). The finish is gourmand, with sweet and tangy notes of candied lemon peel and a lively acidity of green apple and gooseberries, which appear at the very end of the palate. Beautiful structure, salivating acidity and an expressive mineral framework. A fragrant, tangy and lively wine.
