Dom. de Bel Air 2017 Pouilly Fume 'Cuvee des Acoins'

This superb wine hails from a parcel of Kimmeridgean marl, a heavier soil that gives rise to a strikingly structured and long-lived wine that is nonetheless unmistakably Sauvignon in character and seductively textured, despite its elevated acidity. Always held back a year for extended lees-aging
