Fumé it says and fumé it does. Bit smokey, bit herby but in a party frock. Made by Fournier who make multiple brands of PF, all different soils, all different prices, all different life-spans. More sedate on days 2 and 3 but enjoyable throughout. Think I'll have a butcher's for some '10 next time that I'm in. |

Think I'll have a butcher's for some '10 next time that I'm in. Had a large glass tonight. Slightly off dry which is unusual. Some nice blackcurrant bud but no minerality. Still pale and fresh. Dryish white wine 9/10 Pouilly Fume 5.5/10. |

'10 much the same. Pleasant enough but not one that I would rush out to spend £13 on - or even £10. Doesn't have real class - a little peevish perhaps. |

BA & G Q. Would you spend £6 per bottle on the 2010 ? The ten should be coming good now........ Mel awarded the star in late October last year. Look forward to your thoughts |

It's Pouilly Fume lite and with no minerality. I cannot see this ever coming good as a PF. If you want a decent Touraine with a posh label then fine. But even at £6 i'll pass. JE 2011 is down to £6.75 after 25% tis very sharp but with acorns and blackcurrants and it's getting better by the month. Ride the roller coaster MrD ...ride the roller coaster. |

Thanks Mr G, I dumped the PF, but still had two rides on the big dipper. Now, where do I find half a dozen decent Loire on the '10, without burning a large hole in my wallet ?  (11s & 12s are out)

Depends what you mean by a large hole. There's nothing in the supermarkets from 2010 worth buying at any price. Crochet's basic 2010 is £15 at Winedirect. Plus delivery. Expensive but lovely with outstanding reviews. Much nicer than the Vacheron at bigger money or Pascal Jolivet's basic. Not sure what you'll get for less. |

Not sure what you'll get for less. We are planning to go to Erbray, deeper on the far east side of Loire-Atlantique, by ferry and car. I think I should make a list of the producers that you fancy Mr G, and save my pennies until I've seen what can be bought back in the boot. Crochet is a producer that I don't know. So there's another name to look-out for on my list. Cheers |

Well the reviews here don't seem the best but incase anyone is interested: TF Pouilly Fume currently down to £7.99 plus 25% off = £5.99 |

Bought one for £6. Perfect PF. Light/medium bodied with gooseberry fruit and hint of acorn. Will buy 12 more tomorrow. Prepare for a series of bitching posts about bottle variation. This is the 2011. I'm guessing that it's at it's peak. I cannot believe that it has come good.  ( this star relates to the bottle that I am drinking and hopefully to the bottle that you're about to drink....but it might not. Good PF/Sancerre is like that )

Bottle two is like a blackcurrant liqueur. Warm and fruity. Not for me |

I have 2 x '11s on the latest 20% offer. One slug used to deglaze a pan whilst making some stock. First taste was on day 2 and really nice, and a lovely colour. Again this needs to get into 10+ temps before the tastes emerge. Did I say 'nice' ? Yep, nice it is. |
