Dill-, fennel-, and lime-scented, Regis Minet’s 2009 Pouilly-Fumé Vieilles Vignes displays succulence but also freshness and an invigorating edge of berry-skin and citrus rind bitterness. Fennel, lime peel, green tomato, chalk, and salt inform a relatively full-bodied but neither warm nor harsh and, indeed, satin-textured palate, leading to a finish of satisfying length. I would plan on enjoying this over the next two years.Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel (510) 524-1524
