Regis Minet has scored another success with his 2006 Pouilly-Fume Vieilles Vignes. With the aromas and palate impression of a lime, grapefruit, and white peach sorbet laced with mint and pennyroyal, this surprisingly lush yet bright and fruit-skin tinged Sauvignon finishes bracingly on notes of sea salt and tart gooseberry. I would opt to enjoy it over the next 2-3 years, although it might thereafter enjoy a mellow (and thus very different) “middle age.”Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel.
