2012 Pouilly Fumé Eurythmie Jonathan Didier Pabiot

The 2012 Pouilly- Fumé Eurythmie is the "private" selection of some of the oldest vines in the most interesting parcels of the Domaine resulting in 600 bottles only. Produced in 2008 for the first time, it fermented spontaneously and aged for 12 months in two small barrels of which one was new and was bottled without any addition of sulfur. Dressed in an intense golden robe, the bouquet reveals its treasures only slowly whereas the long lees and wood contact is still more obvious. On the palate this is a rich, creamy-textured, rather tropical fruity and minerally structured vin de caractère of great elegance and, also, purity. It is very well balanced and fine, although I think the long lees contact in barrels does not give it something that was not there before.
