SC PB 21 had 3g rs per litre in 2010 and 4g !! in 2011. Still, 93 and green pepper to boot.

Sounds like a highly concentrated version of Bankhouse at the CoOp.

Tesco are selling an £8 Pouilly Fume for Easter. Along with two appeared as if by magic MSB's for £5.

They're turning into the CoOp

Anybody want a Swiss chocolate 5kg Easter egg made within sight of the Suchard factory and made by a man who knows a man who can actually make chocolate

Only £300.....

I had both on the 2010 and I'd definitely go along with that for that vintage. Shez tried the '10 PB21 too and he was impressed. I just don't think the capsicum style suits me TBH.

This PF is 2008 and £9.49 on my web page - You got something different on the shelf in the store ? The wine Gang liked it two years ago this August.

Quote from Jane Mac: The Fournier family's * elegent Loire sauvignons with fine, fat, waxy - and now richly verdant - fruit get my vote. Jane MacQuitty - The Times 09/04/2011 spelling *

Huh ? Sounds more like oakless old school Graves with the dominant semillon mix, the verdant stuff has gone to her head again. Mr G - what say you... do yah like your PF "Fat and Waxy ? Duh !

MrD,

The Pouilly Fume is not the finest made by Claude Fournier which was never waxy. McQuitty is to sb wine notes wot England are to football. I notice she says verdant, yet again. Someone should dip her in Fairy Liquid.

Both the Tesco Finest sb's ( Sancerre/PF ) are spot on in their youth but do go all over the place after about 18 monts. In my store T have the 08 PF and the 09 Sancerre.

The Pouilly Fume in question has been drafted in from nowhere ( CoOp style ) for an Easter special. 2010 Grand Vin Pouilly Fume with a photo of a Chateau on the front and made by a man who can't even be googled.

Cheap wine - cheap trick. They have two MSB's too. Riverpath and The Reach Wnemaker's Reserve. Both sold for £11.99 and now halved after two weeks.

"Hands that do dishes can be as soft as your head" with mild green .....la lahlah lah la

Thanks for the insight and update Mr G. '08, I nearly fell for it.

Goose, couple of Q.s

Sorry - This may become a more interesting Pouilly Fume thread now.

In addition to their own domaine, the Fourniers also acquired Domaine des Berthiers in Saint-Andelain from Jean-Claude Dagueneau in 1995

Didier's brother ? Didier's family

I enjoyed the 2008 JC Founier Grand Cuvee' "La Chaudouillonne" Sancerre at New Year. I was very nice, dry & sophisticated with wonderful limestone & clay marl minerality. Minerality running all thru the wine, not just acid driven.

Is this ordinary JCF Pouilly Fumé from Tesco finest not worth a candle ? Comes from a decent stable, by virtue at least, of the fact that the Fournier's have bought up old and quite famous terroir. They must have some expertise, otherwise they'd be going broke. Or did they buy cheap in the mid nineties.

The 07 Tesco Finest Fournier Pouilly Fume was an absolute joy. Sancerre like more than PF but wonderful. The 09 PF has that cabbage quality ( if it is a quality and not a fault ). Not my style.

The Sancerre 09 is very good and correct but it is fading.

Fournier is a class act.....but his operation is huge ( by Sancerre standards ). Bit like Brancott Estate. Thay can produce anything from the sublime to the simple.

Unlike the BarondeL.....Fournier's wines do NOT have legs.

Goose thanks for that - I shall skip the '08 tesco offer. I should start saving up for half a dozen real beauties - I need a proper Loire Treat

Thanks G - tip me off if you come across a wine that you would put your name to as a recomendation.... that you would ask me to write G on the back label. Not too expensive....please

Cheers

Really enjoyed it, SO hard to stick to doctor's orders.

This is very reminisent of Saint Clair's basic now. First glass it's all complex lovely blackcurrant and other flavoures like boxwood and capsicum and then all but the blackcurrant fades to leave a pungent but simple wine.

Foe me though, at under a tenner, this beats Goldwater.

£6.99 at the CoOp.

My last two were pithy and quite hard work.

Pithy do dahs...the curse of good MSB

No pithy stinker for me...
Late to the party in this but treated myself to a glass and a half last night
This was Purchased from majestic and concurs with your original notes
Much better job from Ned over previous vintages. Delicious
For £5.99 was an absolute steal! £6.99 at coop still great value
