The 2007 Pouilly-Fume Silice smells of fresh lime, cassis, and fennel. Luscious and loaded with generous, juicy citrus fruit, it plays the typical role for this Blanchet cuvee: more charming, and generous earlier than the Vieilles Vignes. All the brightness and intensity of this grower’s other 2007s are here though – in spades, and its chalky, saline, citric, tartly black-fruited finish literally tugs at your salivary glands.
