White Wine

Calvet Pouilly Fuissé 2022, Burgundy A.P., France: Dressed in a pale straw sheen, this Chardonnay greets the nose with gentle white-flower perfumes that give way to crisp apple and ripe pear, lifted by a twist of lemon zest. On the palate it marries a satisfyingly plush creaminess with bright, driving acidity, while a subtle thread of toasted almond and hazelnut adds graceful depth. Mineral-tinged and expansive, the finish lingers effortlessly, offering enjoyment now and continuing appeal through 2030 and beyond. Pair it with lobster rolls or grilled prawns for a treat. Pouilly Fuissé food pairings: lobster rolls, grilled prawns, smoked salmon. Drink: 2025 - 2030 40438 13% XD 750 mL $45.95 Score: 93/100. July 2025. Top Rated White Wine Full Review Add to Shopping Cart
