Patient Cottat
Pouilly-Fumé Anciennes Vignes

Pouilly Fume is quite wonderful when made right, by that I mean there’s complexity, subtlety and elegance which this one from Patient Cottat gives a good stab at. It’s not outstanding, it’s dry and light with plenty of flavours of citrus, honey and notes of stone fruits with a splash of smokiness. It does lack subtlety and it’s not got that french elegance but it’s only £16, which for Pouilly Fume is reasonable. Summer BBQ’s and sipping in the sun are recommended to go with this wine.
