This is a reasonably priced French white wine. Domaine de Pouy is very light gold in color. The wine has a springtime nose – citrus, peach, grass, wet stone. In the mouth it is medium bodied with near over-the-top crispness. In fact, I thought it was a bit too tart for my taste. The flavors are primarily citrus with ‘minerals.’ If you like very crisp, white wines, the ‘de Pouy is for you!
